Follow your passions

With 32 subjects to choose from at 麻豆传媒团队, you can shape your future and delve deeper into the areas that you enjoy.

In fact, anyone over the age of 16 can come to college to study A Levels, so whether you鈥檙e a school-leaver planning for your future or a mature learner looking to pursue a passion, A Levels are made for you. Dylan Bevan wasn鈥檛 sure what he wanted to do at university, but A Levels gave him a good base. He picked maths, biology, chemistry, and physics, which allowed him to continue all the subjects he enjoyed in school in much more detail and expand his knowledge base. Thanks to A Levels, he鈥檚 now studying Medicine at Cardiff University!
