Course Description

If your heart is set on studying A-Levels and would like an environment that is different from the traditional school environment, then A-Levels at MidKent College could be your perfect next step.

Based at our Sixth Form Centre in Maidstone, you will be taught by specialist lecturers who will support you to gain the qualifications, skills and confidence to progress to university-level study, an apprenticeship, or into employment.

You will study three A-Levels over a two-year period. Please confirm your preferred A-Level subjects through the application process. (Within the A-Level application process, please read the information for all the subjects you are interested in studying prior to applying, once you are ready to apply – choose 1 of your choices- at this point you will see two sets of drop-down boxes to choose your remaining 2 subjects.)

Maths (Awarding Body: Pearson Edexcel)

A-Level Mathematics gives you the opportunity to study topics such as geometry, calculus and trigonometry (pure mathematics) and to use these ideas within the 'applied' topics such as mechanics and statistics.

Mechanics is strongly linked to physics and builds on ideas of motion and forces to work out how and why objects move. Statistics enables the comprehension of the complex and variable world via analytical methods in order to draw reliable conclusions from sets of information and data.

You will be assessed entirely through examination and there is no coursework component at this time.

Other Important Information

We strongly encourage students to purchase appropriate textbooks for each subject. More detail will be given to you during enrolment.

If you have started A Levels elsewhere, you may be able to transfer to MidKent College. We will interview applicants to discuss what they had studied to date and with what examining board. We can then decide on an individual basis if a transfer to the college is appropriate.
