A Level

AS (Advanced Subsidiary) and A (Advanced) Level qualifications are regarded as the traditional route to university and higher education. By studying A Levels at North Hertfordshire College, you will enjoy a programme of learning designed to meet your individual interests and ambitions.

A levels are a two year programme, in which successful completion of the first year leads to a qualification at AS level. In order to achieve the full A level, students must successfully complete the full 2 years of study.

A Level study at NHC is a great preparation for both university and the world of work. You can look forward to studying in a friendly atmosphere with excellent facilities and resources. Tutorials are an integral part of the AS and A level programme and as such each full-time student is allocated a personal tutor who will monitor their academic progress and offer advice and guidance to help you achieve the best possible results. All students will undertake employability skills and enrichment activities and receive guidance on opportunities in higher education and employment.

At NHC we offer a wide range of A Level subjects. We also work with local secondary schools and so you may be able to study a subject that we do not offer at College through them.

To study A Levels at NHC you will need to have a minimum of five GCSE subjects at grade C or above, including English and Mathematics. Study of AS Levels also requires the achievement of specific subjects and grades at GCSE, and you will be advised about this during your interview and at enrolment.

Students at North Hertfordshire College were overjoyed with their A Level and Diploma results this year. Out of 404 UCAS applications, over 95% of places have been confirmed for NHC students. Read more.....

Jayne Watson

Studied A Level Psychology, Biology and Chemistry

"I got an A* in Psychology, A* in Biology and an A in Chemistry, I was completely shocked, I wasn't expecting it at all. I applied to study Biochemistry at the University of East Anglia, I'm now going to try and either swap courses to study medicine or take a year out because I've always wanted to be a doctor."


Daniel Darby

Studied A Level Chemistry, Physics and Maths

"I didn’t have much confidence in maths until I came here and met my tutor. I’ve always enjoyed physics and would like to become a physicist."
