Additional information
AS Level Physical Education can either be used as a 'stand-alone ' qualification, in order to broaden your range of AS or vocational subjects, or it can be taken on to A Level. Successful completion of the A Level qualification can lead to university courses in subjects such as Sports Science, Sport Studies and Physiotherapy. AS and A Level Physical Education provide a useful foundation for careers in the sports industry and teaching.
