Entry Requirements

To enrol, you’ll need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, including English/Welsh First Language, Maths/Maths Numeracy, Science and Grade B in Physical Education.

You should be participating in at least one sport at club level on a regular basis and where possible, you should play for the college if that sport is offered.

Full commitment to attendance is required, as is respect for others, enthusiasm for the subject and self-motivation. You’ll be continually assessed and there is an expectation that you’ll continue your studies and coursework during your own time.

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.
