Entry Requirements:
For AS Levels you will need five GCSE passes at grades A*-C, including English and maths, as well as one grade B. If you have taken GCSE History, you need to have attained a C or above. Those who have not taken the GCSE will be considered for the course, but since communication and literacy skills are so important, a grade C or above is required in subjects that demonstrate those skills such as English Literature or Religious Studies. Other relevant qualifications can be discussed at interview.If you have grades A and B at GCSE or a strong overall GCSE profile, well encourage you to study four AS courses.
To progress from AS to A2 you are expected to gain at least a grade C in the AS subject studied.
