Description : A-Level program in Brockenhurst College

The Pre A-level program prepares students for admission to a specially targeted A-level. Children master the subjects for the 8th and 9th years of the British educational system and choose a possible specialty. In the course of 1-2 years schoolchildren achieve significant results in compulsory disciplines (English, foreign and mathematics) and select several subjects for the GCSE certificate. After completing the program, students are tested in a national unified exam, receiving a certificate of incomplete secondary education. The certificate GCSE, as a rule, includes three to five additional sciences, which the student can choose from 70 admissible. Brockenhurst College offers to choose such additional courses:

• Business;
• Law;
• The fundamentals of chemistry;
• Accounting;
• World literature;
• Economics;
• Biology;
• Physics.

A significant part of knowledge is acquired by children in classrooms. Laboratory tasks and group work also form an important part of the educational process. The college focuses the students on independent employment and teaches the conduct of educational research. The evaluation for the course takes into account the student's participation in the classes and the level of performance of domestic work. The course ends with the passing of two compulsory subjects on national exams and up to 5 disciplines at individual choice.

British colleges consider A-level as an ideal program for university preparation. Students not only study intensively the university subjects, but also learn to think critically and work on self-education. Certificate A-level corresponds to the level of entrance examinations to the university.

The composition, the device and the saturation of the A-level program are universal for all establishments. A distinctive feature of the program is the in-depth studying of priority sciences. The students continue to study all the A-level courses further in the university.

Freshmen A-level pass in detail 4 subjects, and second-year students focus on the study of the three scientific areas. For the academic balance of science, it is important to consider the intersection of the subjects of the courses and choose those that do not repeat.

Basic directions are:

• Business;
• Economic theory;
• Mathematics.

A program for the adaptation of educational systems was created for foreign citizens, simplifying preparation for studying in a higher institution. In the course of studying, foreign students improve their academic skills, use technology more actively for educational purposes and receive high marks in English.

Program specialization:

• Engineering;
• Finance management (business, mathematics, economics);
• Art.

The students are studying the greatest number of sciences and social subjects. Here we study engineering, mathematics, the latest technologies, chemistry, the fundamentals of biology and the course of physics. Art includes a complex passage along with design skills.

One year of study thoroughly prepares for special education in higher education. The University Foundation takes into account the needs of employers, modern teaching methods, and the peculiarities of university training.

The third, professional level of British education - the passage of two years of the BTEC program is compared with the A-level exams. Every year, adolescents go through up to 12 profile modules, through which they do coursework, conduct research, and present practical results of the study. The results of all the works are taken into account in the total score.

Thanks to the attentive attitude of the pedagogical staff to the level of schoolchildren's progress, the program shows the highest achievements. BTEC provides for constant control over the assimilation of the material through tests, interviews, individual tasks. With a poor knowledge, the students adjust the program and allocate more hours of study. The BTEC feature is practical orientation. As examples there are real situations and problems.

The BTEC program has been working effectively for more than 25 years. In Brockenhurst College, the program includes:

• Physical education;
• Business;
• Photo;
• Theater;
• Hospitality;
• Art;
• IT;
• Tourism;
• Social work (+ in the medical field);
• Music;
• Engineering;
• Media.

The program meets the university level and is considered to be an incomplete higher education. After its completion, the student can seek to work in the specialty or enter the third year of the university.

Brockenhurst College offers several professional courses for foreign students:

• Applied biology;
• Photography;
• Information technology and systems;
