PROGRAMME

OF STUDY

OUR GOAL IS TO ENROLL YOU IN COURSES THAT GIVE YOU THE BEST CHANCE OF FUTURE SUCCESS STEP 1: THE COLLEGE PROGRAMME

STEP 2: CALCULATE YOUR GCSE SCORE

Every student builds a program combining:

This will help you to see the suitability of certain subjects. Calculate your average GCSE score:

• 3 Core Courses: Choose 3 A Levels, Vocational courses, or a mix of both. (A 4th A Level is available depending on your GCSEs). • 3 Q-XTRA Courses: Choose an option from Achieve, Connect and Enrich to build skills, support your wellbeing, meet people and prepare for your future.

AVERAGE GCSE SCORE

Sum of Top 8 GCSEs (including Math & English*) 8

Add together your top 8 GCSE grades (including Maths and English*), then divide by 8 to calculate your average grade

STEP 4: BEFORE YOU APPLY

Use your average score as guidance to find your best path:

• Subject Entry Requirements: Check specific course pages for any extra requirements.

• Average 7 or above: Ideal for the Aspire Programme with 3 or 4 A Levels. Consider if your future career requires traditional academic choices or you plan to progress to a competitive field. • Average between 4 and 7: High flexibility! Choose 3 A Levels, a full Vocational Programme, or a Mixed Programme (combining both). Reflect on whether exams or coursework suit your learning style best, and check individual subject requirements to see what fits. • 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 or below (inc. English): Best suited for a full Vocational Programme, Mixed Programme, or a restricted selection of A Levels. Coursework-heavy options provide an excellent, proven route to top grades, universities, and apprenticeships.

Human mental and brain functions are broken down and understood. Are behaviours caused by your culture or are they universal to everyone? Is behaviour a result of your biology or your environment? Psychology is a new science that has originated within the past 150 years and it encompasses such a vast array of behaviours. On the course, we explore everything from the scientific topics of biopsychology and memory to the topics of relationships and clinical psychology. INSIGHT INTO TOPICS:
