If you want to give yourself an edge over other students when applying to university and employment but get fully recognised A Levels at the same time, then the AQA Baccalaureate programme is for you.

The AQA Baccalaureate is a complete and tailor-made curriculum programme that can help you to get into your chosen university course or employment by providing you with:

• An overarching certificate with three A Levels and one AS separately certificated
• Excellent preparation for Higher Education or employment
• A solid academic foundation with the skills that universities have identified as important
• A portfolio of extra-curricular achievements to include in your UCAS personal statement and discuss at interview
• Proof of your commitment to a chosen field of study
• Independent learning skills, community spirit, leadership skills and work-related skills
• Confidence for university applications and interviews

The elements of the AQA Baccalaureate

All three elements will be assessed separately and if you pass all of them you will gain the AQA Baccalaureate and you will still get your A Level certificates.

Grades requested to study this course are: five GCSE A* to A grades including English, mathematics and science. Applications will be considered by the Baccalaureate Team on an individual basis.

You will have the opportunity to enter essay writing competitions, get credit for your out-of-college activities, travel abroad and work closely with other high-achieving students.
