A Level Selector
Choosing your A-level subjects
The A-level subject builder below will help you choose your subjects.
- Click on a subject from rows A-G to select your first choice.
- The tool will then enable you to choose your second subject from the same row
- Select your third subject from any of the remaining blocks. (You may only choose one subject per block. You can only study one BTEC as part of the A-level programme.)
- If you wish to study Sports Science (BTEC), you will be able to study this with any subject from blocks 1, 4 or 5 (except another BTEC). You will not be able to study Sports Science with another subject from blocks 2 or 3.
- Once you have selected your three subjects, you can apply for them through your school applications service or directly through our website by clicking the APPLY button. Click here for more information on how to apply.

Why can I only choose certain subjects?
The subject builder has been designed so that the subjects in each row complement each other in terms of recommended career pathways and entry requirements for degree courses.
-
How many A-levels can I study?
Most students choose to study three A-levels and the subject builder will enable you to select three subjects. If you wish to study four A-levels, or you wish to choose subjects from three different rows, we will be pleased to discuss this with you at your information session.
-
BTEC options
The BTEC qualifications gain comparative UCAS points to A-levels and count towards one of your choices. However, you may only study one BTEC subject as part of the A-level programme.
-
Blocks may vary
The A-level subjects offered are dependent on student numbers, so the blocks may vary to allow for this. On Wednesdays, you will either take part in work experience or subject development workshops (when required by the subject).
