From today, students will have another option when picking where to study A Levels.

EKC Group is launching its new EKC Sixth Form College, with 23 A Levels for students to choose from.

With specialist subjects including Sociology, Criminology, Classics and Law, the new EKC Sixth Form College will be providing a wider breadth of choice.

As well as creative subjects like Graphic Design, Textiles and Photography, students will have the chance to be tutored in STEM subjects with courses in the individual sciences as well as Maths and Further Maths.

Another way to boost UCAS points will be the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), which will be on offer alongside the new raft of A Levels.

Completing an EPQ allows learners to explore subjects of interest to them, enhancing research skills and referencing ahead of their possible transition to higher education.

Using Canterbury College’s top-class facilities, the EKC Sixth Form College will bridge the gap between secondary and university education.

Open to students from September 2022, the new courses will be taught by industry leaders who can provide contacts and insight into their chosen fields.

Another bonus for incoming students will be the strong ties to businesses across East Kent, offering a range of curriculum enrichment opportunities. From outstanding work experience placements to industry talks and visits, students will get the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in their chosen areas of study.

Furthermore, EKC Sixth Form College’s support of students is second to none; sharpening CV writing skills and delivering excellent careers guidance, ensuring exceptional pastoral support and aiding students in completing their UCAS applications.

Those aged 16 and above will be able to be educated in an exclusively 16+ provision, not only experiencing independence but also being surrounded by similarly-aged peers.

Graham Razey, Chief Executive Officer of EKC Group, said: “I began my career teaching A Levels, so I’m really excited to be returning to these roots with our opening of the EKC Sixth Form College. It aims to empower learners across the communities we serve to access an even greater choice of A Level subjects.

“Our new EKC Sixth Form College will be solely focused on providing top class academic education to those aged 16 and above. This means our students will have an experience that will be a cohesive bridge between secondary and university education, ensuring they’re well prepared to progress to the destination of their choice when they complete their studies with us.”
