Embarking on A-level studies at Oxford Online School, students engage in a comprehensive two-year program for each subject, culminating in external examinations at the close of each academic year. It is crucial for students to select three A-level subjects aligned with their interests and academic strengths, as their engagement and performance are often highest in areas they are passionate about. In certain cases, when aspiring to a science-related university degree, students may be required to choose a fourth subject. Our academic advisors provide personalised guidance during the interview process to ensure each student’s choices resonate with their future academic and career aspirations.

Understanding the pivotal role subject selection plays in a student’s educational trajectory, our team offers expert advice on how the chosen subjects can serve students in their future endeavours.

The optimal subject combination is one that reflects the student’s genuine interests—whether that lies in crafting essays or delving into the sciences.

Furthermore, to broaden their academic experience and enhance their research skills, all A-level students at our institution are mandated to undertake an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) during their first year. The EPQ is a valuable addition, encouraging independent learning, critical thinking, and in-depth exploration of a chosen topic. This project not only enriches their knowledge but also strengthens their university applications, setting them apart in a competitive educational landscape.
