What the college says

Music is a two year Linear A level. It retains its focus on performing, composing, listening and analytical skills, with technology also now a feature of some aspects of the composing units of the course. Note that Music Technology remains as a separate Level 3 qualification and both subjects can be studied.

What you need to get on

It is useful to have taken Music at GCSE level, but this is not essential, as long as you can already play a musical instrument and are able to read music to grade 6 or an equivalent standard. You will need to reach a grade 6 or above level by the end of the two year course.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
