WHY CHOOSE BELLERBYS A LEVEL PROGRAMME? BELLERBYS A LEVEL

Bellerbys A LevelAll of the UK’s elite universities warmly welcome applications

Choosing to study A Levels requires an ongoing commitment to your studies and a high level of English language. At Bellerbys, we’re here to support you throughout your studies, from choosing the right programme length and start date to additional language classes and in-class teacher support .

2-year A Level (6 terms Brighton and London)Start in September and choose three or four subjects based on your interests and the degree you wish to study, as well as IELTS English if you require it. You’ll take an internal assessment at the end of your fi rst year to ensure you are on track. A§ er this, you’ll continue with your chosen subjects into your second year and complete your fi nal exams at the end of your programme.

2-year international A Level (6 terms Cambridge)A great choice for science students wishing to take their AS exams, which account for 50% of the A Level, midway through their course. This option is governed by Cambridge Assessment International Education, which is part of the University of Cambridge. You’ll start your studies in September and sit AS exams in June or November at the end of your fi rst year with fi nal exams at the end of year two.

18-month A Level (5 terms)Start in either January or April – making this a good option for those unable to start their A Level programme in September.

1-year A Level (3 terms)Our most intensive A Level programme, this is the typical full A Level programme studied in just one year. It’s a good option if you have studied A Level before and are looking to improve your grades. The 1-year A Level is only available at Bellerbys Brighton.

A2 A Level entry (3 terms)Only available at Bellerbys Cambridge, this is a good option of study for those who have already studied AS Level CIE (Cambridge International A Level) and achieved a minimum of three B grades or above, as well as an IELTS of at least 6.0 (or equivalent). Prospective students will have an interview with the Principal of Bellerbys Cambridge to see if you have the right educational background to complete the programme over three terms. This programme is governed by the Cambridge Assessment International Education, part of the University of Cambridge.

You’ll have two dedicated hours each week to help with your university application, including interview practice and personal statement writing. Preparing for university doesn’t just happen inside the classroom – at Bellerbys we’ll support you every step of the way.

BELLERBYS UNDERGRADUATE YEAR ONE BELLERBYS UNDERGRADUATE YEAR ONE

Bellerbys Undergraduate Year One

If you would like to study an undergraduate degree at a UK university but don’t quite meet the entry requirements for your chosen university, our Undergraduate Year One (UG1) in Business and Management is the programme for you. We’ll help to develop your skills to reach the required level in time to join the second year of your degree†. We expertly combine your subject studies with your university preparation studies in a single study plan.

Our Undergraduate Year One programme will:· ensure you develop the knowledge and skills for your chosen degree through the specialist Business and Management pathway.

· help you adapt to studying in the UK through modules designed to equip you with the skills you need for university.

· further develop your English language skills.

Our UG1 programme is equivalent to other International Year 1 programmes but with one major di�erence: you can choose to study at one of 27 UK universities, as well as making this important decision from within the UK. You’ll have the opportunity to progress into the second year of universities ranked within the top 50*, including: University of Exeter, University of Leeds, University of East Anglia, University of Strathclyde, Cardi� University and Aston University†.

Direct entry to your second year†

Developed in close partnership with Aston University, our UG1 programme provides you with the skills necessary to progress to your second year of university study. Developed for international students, we’ll help you to adapt to the teaching and learning style used in UK universities through a mix of intensive lesson time and self-study. Our supportive sta� make sure you develop your academic and English language skills, whilst our personal tutors guide you through the all-important UCAS application process.

Make your choice from the UKWe know that choosing your university is an important decision – as well as one that should be made when you are here in the UK, rather than before you arrive for your programme. Bellerbys o�ers you the opportunity to visit university campuses, a�end guest lectures and visit our bi-annual university fair – all of which will help you to decide which university environment is best for you.

Wide choice of universitiesThe Bellerbys UG1 programme is accepted at 27 universities, including those in the prestigious Russell Group:

Equivalent to the first year of your undergraduate degree, we can help you to develop the skills necessary to meet the entry requirements for your preferred university.

Aston University is a top UK university, ranked 44 for Accounting and Finance and 35 for Business Studies. Aston Business School is a triple accredited school (AACBS, EQUIS, AMBA) – 1 of only 22 in the UK.*

The Times/The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020

Academic English SkillsOn the UG1 programme, we make your personal support our priority. Our dedicated sta� are here to help you se�le in to life in the UK and feel confident by the time you progress to university. You’ll also benefit from our Academic English Skills (AES) programme, which we build into your timetable so you have more time to focus on your English language skills. A number of our university partners accept AES in place of IELTS, so as long as you apply to these universities, you won’t be required to take an additional test to prove your English level.

We will also help you to develop your skills in:· reading e�ectively and critically· listen to and make notes in lectures and presentations· delivering presentations and participating in academic seminars· researching, planning and writing academic essays· expressing yourself with clarity and confidence.

Guaranteed Conditional O�er from Aston University Upon acceptance to the UG1 programme, you’ll receive an o�er of conditional progression from Aston University. Upon successful completion of the programme, and subject to achieving the required IELTS/AES level, you’ll have the opportunity to progress to the second year of the following degrees at Aston University:

· BSc Business and Management (Hons) (with options in Economics, Accounting, Information Systems and Analytics)

· BSc Accounting and Finance (Hons)· BSc Marketing (Hons)

ScholarshipsUpon completion of the programme and progression to Aston University, two students on the UG1 programme have the opportunity to receive a scholarship of £1,500 from the University.
