College then

Yes

Hi Ruby, we would suggest speaking to a teacher or careers adviser at your school about this to offer you the best support in this decision. We would also recommend considering whether you are ready to enter the world of work, earning and learning at the same time if you were to do an apprenticeship. If you have a future career in mind, will A Levels or an apprenticeship be better suited to help you achieve this? We also recommend visiting the Next Steps platform which offers support specifically for year 11 students. Check it out here: nextsteps.aimhigherwm.ac.uk/

Hi there, if you wish to study Law at university, your choices at A Level are quite broad. While you don't have to have studied Law at A Level, if your college/sixth form offers this, we would recommend Law as one of your choices. Other subjects which would be a good choice would be essay-based A Levels, such as History and English. For more help on this, check out this guide: www.theuniguide.co.uk/advice/a-level-choices/what-a-levels-do-you-need-to-study-law#essentialAlevelsforlaw

Hi Melody, have you tried speaking to a Careers Adviser at your school or a family member who could help you? Try visiting our website nextsteps.aimhigherwm.ac.uk/ for more useful information to help you with your next steps.

Hi there, we would suggest speaking to a teacher at your school about this to receive the most accurate information. Usually, you will apply to further education (college or sixth form) in year 11. It is also true that when attending college or sixth form you can choose up to 3 A Levels. You could study other subjects which you enjoy or subjects which relate to Graphics and Design, such as Photography or Art. We hope this helps!

Hi Sarah, neither is better than the other if you wish to become an Interior Designer. Which option is best for you depends more upon the type of learning you prefer, for example more independent, or more support. Also, it depends what subjects you would like to study and whether you local sixth forms or colleges offer these. Hope this helps!

@@AimhigherWM so is college the one with most support?

@@user-hi2cj5mo5g Sixth form generally can offer more support from teachers, for example they may work more closely with you to help you reach your potential, make sure you are meeting deadlines and check in with you more regularly. In comparison, college can offer more independence and requires you to be more self motivated. Teachers will also expect you to hand in work on time without them checking in with you first. This is discussed at 1:50 in the video.

Hi there, there is no better option for Accounting or Business when it comes to college or sixth form. The differences between sixth form and college are explained in the video! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Sixth form college is basically a sixth form but there is not a secondary school connected to it, so more like a college, but usually do more a levels and btec than vocational courses. So the education standards of sixth form, alone like colleges and the amount of frees (as a generation)

Great news Erik!

@@AimhigherWM Thanks

Hi Ishmaheel, you can choose 3-4 A Level subjects at sixth form or college. If you want to study Medicine at university, we would recommend choosing A Level Biology, Chemistry and Maths, however it's best to check the entry requirements for the universities you would like to apply to see which subjects they advise in particular. We hope this helps!

Hi, you will need GCSE (or equivalent) English Language at grade 4 to progress to college.

Good luck!

@@AimhigherWM Thank you! :D

College so u first need to do level 1s and then move to level 2s and then level 3s and then employment

Hi there, we can discuss this with you more on our Speak to Aimhigher page where our friendly advisers are available to answer your questions. Please come and chat to us here: www.aimhigherwm.ac.uk/ask

Hi Remi! Sixth form colleges are usually sixth forms. Sixth form college can be another name for a sixth form. If you have anymore questions, come and chat to our friendly advisers: www.aimhigherwm.ac.uk/ask

Hi Thomas, you are right that in Ireland, university can be referred to as college.

Uni and college are very different

@@blackghost6265 Hi there, you are right that in the UK, college and university are different. Thomas' is referring to institutions in Ireland, as college and university are used interchangeably there.

Ireland and the UK are two different countries, which explains why their education systems are different. Post-16 education in other European countries is different again. Having studied in four European countries, including the Republic of Ireland and the UK, I think there are many different ways to run post-16 education successfully, no need to make every country the same!

@@patriciaprieto2917 you're right But since education is something that people are getting from different countries around the world so it would be easier to understand if every country's education system is the same. For me I think that the system in the UK is better where College comes in the middle of school and uni. Some other countries has the same system (16 year's in school then 2 year's in College then 4 year's in uni). In the US even if the college and university are the same thing, college is used more. And they call year 11 and 12th as school level only. I think this make's more sense to keep 11 and 12th as College since the education level changes after secondary school (10th grade). And the word's "College" and "university" are different so the meaning of it should be different too. That's just what I think. I'm not forcing my opinion

Hi Ishleen, we're glad you've found this video helpful! To become a doctor, both sixth form and college would be suitable. However, what is important is the A Levels you choose to study. You must study A Level Biology and Chemistry to be accepted into medical school, as well as a third A Level of your choice. It is best to look at the specific medical schools that you're interested in to see what their entry requirements are. In college, you can usually study 3-4 A Levels.

Hi there, the most important thing to consider when choosing where to study after you've left school is what would be best for you personally. What is right for your friends may not be right for you. You have a few years to think about what you'd like to study after leaving school so there's no rush to decide! Keep an open mind and think carefully about what path will lead you to your end goal. If you have any more questions please come and chat to our friendly advisers here: www.aimhigherwm.ac.uk/ask

Ur in year 8 i mean i say leave the video and worry 2 too three years later lol im in year 11 it only important for us not you..

@@thebestdeath1321 im in year 10 and anyone at any age can plan for their future or want to have an understanding of anything

Hi Jenny, if you go to college to study A Levels or BTECS, or any other qualifications that they offer, you can certainly go to university. Most university courses have entry requirements, meaning there are certain subjects you must study and sometimes you must achieve a certain grade to be offered a place at the university. If you have any more questions please come and chat to our friendly advisers here: www.aimhigherwm.ac.uk/ask

Yes

Hi Sezzy, does the school which you attend have a sixth form attached to it? If so, it is common for students who want to apply to sixth form to apply to the one attached to their school, however you can apply for any sixth form that you are interested in as well. Do you have anymore questions for us?

@@AimhigherWM Actually I'm not a British girl 😅even, I asked you because I'm doing a research talking about the education system in Britain . Anyway thank you so much ❤️

Hi Sshirzz, BTEC stands for Business and Technology Education Council. These are more specialist, work related qualifications, combining practical learning with subject and theory content as well. BTECs are usually assessed by coursework and practical assessments rather than examinations. BTECs can start at different levels depending on your skills and previous educational experience. A Level stands for advanced level qualifications. These are subject based qualifications that can lead to university, further study, training or work. You can usually study 3-4 A Levels over 2 years, and you are assessed through examinations and coursework. They involve independent study, classroom based teaching, and entry requirements normally include 5 GCSEs at grade 9-4. If you need anymore information on your options at college or sixth form, please visit our online platform Next Steps: nextsteps.aimhigherwm.ac.uk/

Hi there, it depends what type of qualifications you are studying, however at sixth form or college students usually study 3-4 A Levels. If you are studying BTECs or T Levels, this number may be different and you may only study 1 course. If you have anymore questions, come and chat to our friendly team: aimhigherwm.ac.uk/speak-to-aimhigher/

Hi there, you can study A Level Geography at most colleges and sixth forms. If you want to talk more about your options and what might be best for you, come and chat to us here: www.aimhigherwm.ac.uk/ask

Hi Rob, sometimes sixth form is more suited to others than college. Everyone's educational journey is different!

Good luck!

Hi Kevin. Generally, students at sixth form or college are treated as young adults and are free to come and go during break times. However, this may vary for different institutions so it's best to ask the sixth form which you would like to go to directly. If you have any other questions, please come and chat to our team here: www.aimhigherwm.ac.uk/ask

@@AimhigherWM how long

@@kevink3928 Hi Kevin, please could you explain what you mean by this question?

@@AimhigherWM to say it was lunch time as a six former could you go to subway as long as you are back in time

@@AimhigherWM how long could you go out

I was in the exact same situation as you and because I didn't have anyone to guide me I ended up losing a whole year. If you want to stay in education and possibly go to uni, please do your gcses first. Anything else at this point is a waste of time (talking of experience of more than 20 immigrant friends) try to find a place which lets you do more than just English and maths gcse. (I found a college that did 5 and I got all 9s and for my a levels I stayed in the same college and they ley me do 1 more alongside my a levels) this is because some colleges want you to have at least 5 gcses. Good luck and feel free to message me if you have any more confusion

Oh btw the number of gcses you nees also depends on the subject you wanna take for uni and the university itself

@@anythingyoucallme504 hi 1 how do you apply the college you get into?(ukiset?) 2 do you study gcse for 1/2years? Tysm I never found any info for it🥺

@@yongmag3585 heyy first search thid on the Internet: GCSE program in college/for 16+. And the name of your city Then check the college websites and find the one that's most appropriate for you. They most probably have an online application form but if they don't just go to the college and apply in person (they deffo have the online thingie) Also for post 16 GCSE course is 99% likely to be 1 year. I did it for one year but I know someone who is doing more gcses (around 10) but should do it in 2 years. Also you're welcome I know how confusing it can be when you move to the uk at this age so feel free to message me more xx

Why do u regret it?

How did it go and did your sixth form accept u at 17?

Hi Nimra. Yes, the information in this video applies to the UK only. There are no halls of residence or dormitories for college or sixth form as students usually live at home while studying. If you have any more questions, chat to us here: aimhigherwm.ac.uk/ask

Hi, The grade 4 in subjects is the minimum grade to actually get into sixth form and that’s the requirement for most subjects But some subjects like maths and science want you to get higher than that (as they are typically quite hard and more academically inclined I think) I hope that makes sense :)

@@laconic9575 tysmmm :))

the subjects u wanna do require hire grades, to get into sixth form u need at least a 4 in all ur subjects to get a good GPA

Hi Katherine! Choosing college or sixth form is a personal choice based on each individual, rather than one option being 'better' than the other. The best option for you may not be the best option for someone else. Sixth form and college are of equal value here in the UK and one is not favoured over the other. If you have anymore questions for us, please visit our Live Chat page: aimhigherwm.ac.uk/ask

So the chance of entering good universities are the same?

Why do regret

Why do you regret your choice?

I regret because I have realised that A-levels are not for me, I think I would have done so much better if I had taken a vocational course in my local college.

Try and convince him to let you go to a sixth form college

At the end of the day it’s not your dads life and he doesn’t know what you exactly want in life even if he’s your guardian it’s your choice

Bruh it’s your life though

You should trust your intuition if you want to go college

Sixth form is also 2 years

True

@@consomusenga212 no you dont have to have a levels, you can do btecs depending on what you want to do at uni, but typically a levels are more highly regarded by top unis

but i'm gonna be old by time i get my career
