A-Level

 One Year A-Level

Oxford Sixth Form College offers more than 20 different subjects for study at A-Level of which many are available as one year A-levels. Their intensive and focused teaching enables them to prepare students for the A-Level examinations in one year.

5 Term A-Level

Their 5 Term A-Level course begins each January and is aimed at students seeking a fresh start to their A-Levels and to students where their home country curriculum finishes in November or December. With Oxford Sixth Form College such students do not need to wait until September to begin A-Levels or make a fresh start, they can do so in January. The first two terms of the 5 Term A-Level programme encompass additional hours for each subject each week such that by the end of June, the January start students have completed the same material as their fellow students who started one term ahead of them.

Two Year A-Level

Their Two–year A-Level program begins each September and offers wide subject choice and a maximum class size of eight students. From the moment you attend your admissions interview you will be given expert guidance and advice on the combination of subjects most appropriate to your academic background and university and career intentions.

GCSEs

The Course is designed for students from the U.K. and overseas, aged from 15 to 16, who wish to benefit from a greater level of support in smaller classes and from the high levels of personal attention and care for which Oxford Sixth Form College is renowned. Students aged 16 to 17 who wish to retake their GCSEs may also join this program.

International students may study English for Academic Purposes (EAP) or IGCSE English (Second Language) instead of IGCSE English and IGCSE English Literature and this will be discussed during a student’s admissions interview.
