In the last two years of secondary education, which are called Year 10 and Year 11, starting at age 14, students prepare for GCSE exams that are taken after two years General Certificate of Secondary Education.
These intensive, one year courses, are available for students aged 15 plus, with the appropriate academic level from their own country. Fewer subjects are studied maximum 6. Students study between 5 and 7 subjects, English, Maths and Science being included. In the UK school system, once a student reaches the age of 16, they can start a 2 year programme which leads to A Advanced level examinations.
Students specialise in 3 or 4 subjects, that are usually relevant to the degree subject they wish to follow at university. A levels are state examinations and are recognised by all UK universities and by institutions worldwide. At the end of Year 13, following the examinations in each subject, the students receive A level Certificates.
Those who would like to study more than subjects, may continue their studies in a broader number of subjects with the International Baccaularete Diploma Programme, offered by some independent schools. International students can either choose a state sixth form college or a college of further education as an alternative to private education.
Colleges of further education also offer foundation and diploma courses. All colleges can prepare students for entry to a UK university or any university in the world.
Bright World works with a number of state colleges in the UK which provide a multitude of vocational and academic courses. These courses can enable students to pursue their chosen career or to gain a place at a university of their choice.
Focussing on practical, skills-based learning, the BTEC students are assessed during the course. After each unit students are assessed through assignments, tasks or tests, and not at the end of the programme as it happens with GCSE or A-Level students. From age 17, international students can opt to study one year foundation programmes, instead of A levels or IB.
These courses lead to private examinations that are an alternative to A levels. Foundation courses at colleges are recognised by universities with whom they have partnerships. Bright World has partnerships with a number of colleges and Pathway providers and can help place students into Foundation and Diploma courses in London and across the UK.
In the UK, a British bachelors degree normally takes three years to complete and most are awarded at honours level. State colleges offer some 2 year vocational diplomas that grant exemption from the first and sometimes second year of a degree programme. Some private tutorial colleges offer a one year diploma programme which is equivalent to year 1 of university.
A combined curriculum gives a valuable opportunity for this to happen over an extended period of time, some children deepening their experience of a subject they are returning to, while others are experiencing where the curriculum will take them in the future. Above all, the role of the teacher becomes key to delivering material that fosters the unique educational needs of each child.
Often the teacher will present the same content to the class as a whole, but will deliver it with differentiation in an age appropriate and ability appropriate way.
