A-LEVELS
Welcome to A-levels at Petroc
What are A-levels?
A-levels are a Level 3 programme and are suitable for anyone who enjoys academic study and are an ideal route to university. Even if you aren’t sure what you want to do after college, A-levels will enable you to continue your studies whilst also keeping your career options open.
You would usually take three subjects over two years. When you plan your programme, it is important that you choose subjects that you enjoy as well as those which will help you on your career path.
A-levels at Petroc
A-levels integrate real-world experiences with work-related learning opportunities, mentoring and employability workshops.
We offer a supportive environment with some fantastic enrichment opportunities, such as our Aspire programmes, to prepare you for university and the career of your choice.
In order to study A-levels, you will need to hold a minimum of GCSE Maths and English at grade 4 alongside three other GCSEs at grade 4 or above. You will be expected to achieve your predicted grades, and some A-level subjects will require higher grades which will be discussed in detail once you have applied.
