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:
“It is a necessary condition of one’s ascribing states of consciousness, experiences, to oneself, in the way one does, that one should also ascribe them, or be prepared to ascribe them, to others who are not oneself.... The ascribing phrases are used in just the same sense when the subject is another as when the subject is oneself.”
—Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)
“The Cairo conference ... is about a complicated web of education and employment, consumption and poverty, development and health care. It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning. While Cairo crackles with conflict, in the homes of the world the orthodoxies have been duly heard, and roundly ignored.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
