What the college says

Studying a language at Advanced Level is an excellent choice. Languages are more important in our modern world than they have ever been because we live in a multilingual global society. Languages have a solid reputation with universities and employers alike. A level language courses tackle interesting and varied topics, developing a broad range of knowledge alongside your language skills. You should be interested in current affairs and enjoy working with a language (e.g. learning grammar and new vocabulary/structures on a regular basis). You must also have an interest in communicating your opinions to others as well as justifying and countering arguments across a wide range of themes.

What you need to get on

Each student will need to achieve a minimum average points score of 4.8 from the best 8 results; with a Grade 4 or higher in Maths and English Language or Literature. This is based on the QCA points system which is as follows: 9 = 9, 8 = 8, 7= 7, 6 = 6, 5= 5, 4= 4, 3 = 3, 2 = 2 and 1 = 1. A minimum of Grade 5 in Spanish is expected. We reserve the right to lower the overall best 8 points average entry criteria score pending the publication of the results in the summer.

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.
