Choosing the right type of qualification for your future career can be a difficult decision.

Here’s some useful information about A Levels to help you make up your mind:

  • A Levels are the more traditional route for those wanting to progress to university
  • You can explore three subjects that you enjoy over two years. Some students may study four subjects where appropriate
  • A Levels are a great option if you have an inquisitive academic mind, enjoy studying and are good at exams
