What are A Levels?

A Levels, also known as Advanced level qualifications are subject-based qualifications that can lead to university/further study, training, or work. A Levels are usually assessed through examinations which fall once or twice a year and are equivalent to Level 3 qualifications.

How many A Levels should I take and what subjects should I choose?

If you are wondering how many A Levels to study, you can normally study three or more subjects over two years. When you choose a University, they will normally advise you how many A Levels, they need, the subjects they prefer you to cover and the number of UCAS points required. For more information about UCAS points, please click here.

You may require some further help with choosing the A Level subjects you wish to study. If this is the case, our student advisors will have a good idea as to which A Level subjects compliment each other really well. All you need to do is think about which A Level subject you are most likely to enjoy as if you have an interest in a particular subject, you are more likely to do well and achieve the grades you are looking for.

You may already know which subjects you wish to complete if you have a particular career/job in mind, or you may want to go on to study the subject at University.

Whether you want to keep your future study or career choices optional or you know what you want to do, A Levels are a great stepping stone.
