Progression Options

Studying A Levels prepares you for a variety of progression options. They serve as an ideal preparation for university, and typically, over 75% of our A Level students progress directly to universities, whether in the UK or overseas.

Many students choose to stay home and go far by studying a degree at University Centre Somerset.

Our mentors and subject lecturers will always support you through your UCAS application. However, university is not the only progression route for A Level students; many progress onto Higher Apprenticeships, work-based training, or employment.
