Academic Courses at Earlscliffe
A-levels
A-levels are the traditional route to university in the UK.
An Earlscliffe student will usually study four subjects (including their own language) at A-level. Most subjects on offer at Earlscliffe are seen as ‘traditional’ subjects, and are readily accepted by the UK’s best universities. Our students also complete the highly-regarded Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), which is increasingly part of any university offer.
Diploma in Business Management
Completed over one year and formally equivalent to two A-levels, the course comprises six course modules covering aspects of business and management.
Students typically take the Diploma together with their own language as a third A-level plus one other academic subject of choice.
This one year course is intended for our students aged 17yrs+ who want to focus on Business and who prefer continuous assessment to final exams. The course is open to UK and international students.
