How many A Level subjects can I study?

The maximum number of A Level subjects you can study as part of an A Level programme is four subjects. Not all students will be given the option to study the maximum of four subjects. If you meet the entry requirements and your prior GCSE grades demonstrate that you will be able to comfortably do this, you will be given the option.

The most common number of subjects A Level students will often study is three subjects.

If you wish to change any of your chosen A Level subjects on your A Level application, you would need to contact our admissions team to amend these, or you can discuss this at your enrolment appointment.
