Limitless progression opportunities
Through our sixty years of experience in education, we’ve become experts at delivering a traditionally British A Level programme to an international audience. A Levels are accepted by every UK university – and A Levels at Bellerbys are no exception, making this a great course choice for those who want to keep their options open.
Our A Level programme is flexible to your interests and academic background, so you’re able to join our programme at various times throughout the academic year and study it from anywhere between one and two years. We’re here to support you throughout your studies – from helping you choose the right programme length for you, up to additional language classes and in-class teaching support. You’ll meet with your expert personal tutor once you arrive at Bellerbys to choose from the 14 subjects we offer – so you’re sure to find the right combination for you.
Choose the right A Level programme for you
Choose your subjects
A Levels offer a lot of flexibility and the subjects you study are unique to your interests and ambitions. We’re here to help you choose the best subject combination to prepare you for your chosen university degree. But if you’re still unsure of your degree choice, we’ll advise you on possible subject combinations that interest you and give you the most flexibility for choosing your degree.

International education experts
A Levels can be challenging and require lots of motivation to do well. We want to make this as easy as possible for you, so our teaching is tailored to help international students like you get the most out of your programme. We put extra focus on developing your English skills for an academic setting as well as encouraging your independent thought.
We’re proud to give you the education and support you need to access competitive degrees such as medicine, mathematics, economics, law and architecture – offering specialist pathways for ambitious students interested in these subjects. Your personal tutor will support you throughout your entire programme – overseeing your university application and offering advice and guidance at every stage.
You’ll study in small classes, with an average of eight students, guaranteeing you receive the necessary support and guidance. Our specialist teachers work hard to provide the right balance between practical and supervised lessons with independent projects, so you can immerse yourself fully in your studies.

University progression
A Level students are able to apply to any university in the UK, so we’ll help you to choose your perfect degree based on your predicted grades and career ambitions. You’ll get two dedicated hours each week with your personal tutor to work on your application: from writing your personal statement to interview practice.
Medical, engineering and Oxbridge preparation
We know that places at medical schools and at Oxbridge are highly competitive, often requiring more than just good grades to be offered a place. We want you to be in the right university for you – so we offer extra dedicated support so our exceptional students can submit the standard of application expected by these institutions.
Extra language support
Studying A Levels requires a strong command of the English language, so we offer an English Language Preparation programme to help you to develop the specific skills you need in order to get the most out of your programme. Depending on your academic background and the amount of support you need, you can develop your English with us for one, two or three terms.
Enrichment activities
Learn new skills and explore your interests with a choice of 35 enrichment activities a week across our campuses. Our enrichment activities will help you to boost your knowledge and enrich your academic experience, helping to prepare you even more for whatever university degree you choose.
Dasha from Ukraine
“I chose to study A Levels because of the prestige of the course. It seemed like something impossible to do, especially with English not being my first language. But with all the help I got, I found that it was the best choice for me. The teachers make sure you really get the most that you can out of the programme.”
