Subject Choices
Students usually study 4 AS level subjects of their choice during their first year of study, and then usually continue to study 3 of these subjects at A level. The college is quite flexible with respect to courses being studied, with a significant proportion of students studying 5 A Levels, and some up to 6. There are over 30 different subjects for students to study.
At AS and A level, students are required to take study General Studies. Both AS and A level General Studies is taught, and the exams sat during the second year of study, the AS exam in January and the A Level exam in June. First-year students are also required to complete a mandatory 8-week OCR Text Processing course in their first few months at college.
Students who did not obtain sufficient GCSE grades to meet their offer, may still be admitted to the college, but have to re-sit the required GCSE during their first year, and obtain the required grade, for example Greenhead College supports Maths GCSE resits.

Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or choices:
“As long as male behavior is taken to be the norm, there can be no serious questioning of male traits and behavior. A norm is by definition a standard for judging; it is not itself subject to judgment.”
—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 1 (1991)
“Activities that seem to represent choices are often inert reproductions of accepted practice.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
