What the college says

Physical Education A level offers the opportunity to develop an understanding and appreciation of the factors which affect participation and performance. It suits those who have enjoyed the study of GCSE Physical Education and can complement other A-level choices such as Biology and other science-based subjects, Psychology and History. It is particularly valuable for those thinking of embarking on a degree in teaching, physiotherapy, medicine, sports therapy, sports psychology, sports development and leisure management.

What you need to get on

A minimum of a grade 6 overall in GCSE Physical Education is expected. If PE is not taken at GCSE there needs to be evidence of extensive sporting activity and a grade 6 in Biology or a grade 6 in Science and Additional Science (with a 6 in the Biology component). The specifications have a significant practical element and a genuine interest in sport is needed in order to be successful.

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?
