Curriculum – What you will study
A-Levels study requires full commitment, both in the Sixth Form and outside of the classroom. If you wish to achieve your full potential you will need to commit considerable time and effort to private study, wider reading and independent research beyond the classroom or laboratory.
As an academic Sixth Form for students who wish to go on to study at the best universities, the focus of our offer are A-Level subjects that the Russell Group and other universities value most.
Our subjects combine well to ensure that our students will have the best opportunities to follow the careers to which they aspire and obviously as a specialist Science and Mathematics Sixth Form we will ensure that our students have the best choices to support applications to study degrees such as Medicine, Dentistry, Finance, Law, Mathematics and the Sciences.
Good luck with your choices!

How to Choose your A-Level subjects:
Your choice of A-Levels is a very important decision. A combination of different factors are involved:
- A-Level subjects needed for a particular degree course; (see our course finder below or visit ucas.com)
- Your interest in a particular subject;
- Ability in and aptitude for a subject; and
- Subjects which complement each other e.g. Economics, Politics & History (we provide guidance for typical complementary subjects on each page)
It is vital that you think and research carefully before finalising your decisions and at The NCS we will offer expert guidance and advice on this.
Coming soon… Use our upcoming course finder quiz to find A-Level subjects that will suit your aims and dreams!
Which A-Levels should I choose to get into university?
Some A-Level courses are favoured for studying particular degrees. Below we’ve compiled a guide to subjects we offer that are useful to have studied for entry to subject degree courses.
This data is compiled from UCAS and guidance from our teaching staff. You should always browse ucas.com and any individual courses you’re interested in for exact entry requirements.
How many A-Levels will I study?
It is obviously important to choose a combination of subjects for your A-Levels that work well together and that maximise your choice of university degrees. Students will generally study 4 subjects in their first year and most will continue with 3 or 4 subjects for their final year of studying A-Level.
What are the expectations for my A-Level study?
A-Level requires full commitment to study, both in the Sixth Form and outside of the classroom. If you wish to achieve your full potential you will need to commit considerable time and effort to private study, wider reading and independent research beyond the classroom or laboratory.
