A Levels Courses at DCG

Unlock your potential with A-level qualifications that will set you apart in the eyes of universities and employers alike. With Derby College Group (DCG), you will discover exciting subject choices, high-quality teaching, first-class facilities, excellent careers advice and a vibrant learning environment.

A Levels are taught at The Joseph Wright Centre, our specialist post-16 Academic and Arts College in the city’s Cathedral Quarter, is a hub of inspiration for around 1,700 students. It is a bright, inviting and friendly setting, centred on a stunning atrium and offering superb resources for academic studies. As well as extensive general teaching spaces and an excellent library and learning resources centre, facilities include IT suites, art and design studios, and modern science laboratories. You will work alongside students from our Creative Industries Academy, which adds up to a vibrant atmosphere.

Where does your future lie? Business high-flier, scientific researcher, journalist, lawyer, politician, economist, psychologist, computer expert – whatever your career aspirations, A-levels from DCG can help you turn ambitions into reality. Your qualification will prove you possess not only academic knowledge but also dedication, application and critical thinking. We will motivate you to stay on track to achieve your goals, including seamless progression to university.

The choice is yours A-levels are the more traditional route for progressing to university. Our students normally focus on three subjects over two years. While some may decide to take four subjects at A-level, many find it more appropriate to add a one-year option – the Certificate in Mathematical Studies (Core Maths) or the Extended Project Qualification – to bring an extra dimension to their CVs and strengthen their UCAS or job applications.

Ad Astra at DCG – set your sights high, to help you move forward and realise your ambitions, we have launched the Ad Astra programme at DCG. Ad Astra gives you access to inspirational people, organisations and opportunities; keeps you informed of events that will guide your career journey; and offers additional coaching and support. Students who actively participate will receive Ad Astra badges that mark them out as aspirational, autonomous, connected and curious individuals who can inspire others. Stay on for degree-level studies You do not even need to leave DCG to take your studies to the next level. We offer HNCs, HNDs, foundation and honours degrees in subjects like Business, Computing, Creative Practice and Criminal Justice. There are benefits to studying close to home with small group sizes and full academic support, not to mention a familiar learning environment. If you meet the entry criteria and have a good attendance and performance record, we guarantee you a place on a DCG HE programme as long as there are sufficient student numbers.

Our portfolio of subjects is wide-ranging and flexible, so you will not be restricted to the conventional subject combinations familiar from school. Along with traditional A-level choices like English, Maths and Sciences, you can select disciplines such as Film Studies, Geology, Philosophy and Textile Design. If you would prefer a more vocational programme alongside your A-levels – or in place of an A-level – we also offer specialist certificates and diplomas covering subjects such as Applied Law, Criminology, Psychology, App Development and Music Performance to give you a head start in your career.
