Sixth Form

Why join the Sixth Form

While the Sixth Form at the British Collegiate is small, it allows young people to study subjects that lead to further education at UK universities. Entry to the Sixth Form is voluntary and depends on satisfying the entry requirements for the three subjects of choice offered by Cambridge International Education.  
  
The A Level typically work towards two years of study. Usually, students take three or four A-level courses in their first year of sixth form, and those who take four usually cut back to three in their second year. Resources permitting, students have the opportunity to combine any subjects they wish. However, students normally pick the subjects that support the course they wish to pursue at university. 
  
A Levels are split into two parts, with students pursuing an Advanced Subsidiary qualification within their first year of study, commonly referred to as an AS or AS Level, which can either serve as an independent qualification or contribute 50% of the marks towards a full A Level award. The second part is the A2, which is generally more in-depth and academically rigorous than the AS. The AS and A2 marks are combined for a full A Level award. The A2 is not a qualification on its own and must be accompanied by an AS level in the same subject for certification.
