General Certificates of Secondary Education are the main secondary education qualifications in the UK. With a choice of study options, you'll build the base of knowledge necessary for further study, such as A Level or Foundation. Students aged 15.5 can join our intensive three or four-term programmes, studying up to six subjects, including English and Mathematics, with exams at the end. Our 2-year pathway is ideal for students between the ages of 14 and 16 studying up to seven subjects, with exams at the end of your second year. Commencing in January, this programme is for students over the age of 15.5 who won't fi nish studies in their home country until October/ November. Like the 3-term programme, you will study up to six subjects, including Mathematics and English, with one set of exams at the end of the programme (October and November).
