School Leavers Academic

Reach your potential with A-level qualifications that will set you apart in the eyes of universities and employers alike. With Derby College Group (DCG), you will discover exciting subject choices, high-quality teaching, first-class facilities, excellent careers advice and a vibrant learning environment.

Where does your future lie? Business high-flier, scientific researcher, journalist, lawyer, politician, economist, psychologist, computer expert – whatever your career aspirations, A-levels from DCG can help you turn ambitions into reality.

Your qualification will prove you possess not only academic knowledge but also dedication, application and critical thinking. We will motivate you to stay on track to achieve your goals, including seamless progression to university.

A-levels are the more traditional route for progressing to university. Our students normally focus on three subjects over two years. While some may decide to take four subjects at A-level, many find it more appropriate to add a one-year option – the Certificate in Mathematical Studies (Core Maths) or the Extended Project Qualification – to bring an extra dimension to their CVs and strengthen their UCAS or job applications. There is a vast range of subjects to choose from so why not join one of our information evenings and have a chat to our tutors

Choose your subjects from our list of A-Levels and apply now!
