Why Study 4 AS-Levels?
One of the many unique aspects that makes Joseph Chamberlain College an exceptional institution is its 4 AS-Level programme. Studying 4 AS-Levels is exceedingly beneficial as it:
- Provides security by allowing students to drop a subject. It can be extremely challenging for school leavers to narrow down their choices from a wide range of GCSE subjects. Therefore, instead of being locked into 3 AS-Levels, this programme allows students to test out 4 and drop their least favourite/weakest subject or the one that is helping them the least with their future goals.
- Gives students the opportunity to study 4 A-Levels. If a student were to start off studying 3 AS-Levels, they would never have the opportunity to carry 4 into their second year of college. For students who are achieving high grades, this is a very valuable chance to gain 4 full A-Levels, which is required for some top universities.
- Equips students with an extra qualification and increased Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) Points. Unless a student carries all 4 subjects into their second year, they will finish college with 3.5 A-Levels. This will increase the quality of their university application and broaden opportunities for the future.
- Helps students uncover wider career prospects. Some school leavers may be unsure of their career options, but studying 4 AS-Levels provides these students with the freedom to explore more subjects and career options for the future.
- Aids students in monitoring progress and gives them a clear picture of how they are progressing. As Joseph Chamberlain College students sit exams at the end of their first year, they have a very solid idea of how they are progressing and what grades they are achieving. This is beneficial to all students, as it helps them to monitor their progress for their second year and focus their revision effectively and efficiently.
