All of the subjects offered for AS and A Level courses at Welbeck are designed to allow students to develop their scientific skills and / or to develop a broader range of knowledge and understanding.

Core subjects currently available for students include:
Mathematics; Physics; Chemistry; Biology; Electronics; Computing; Geography; History; Government & Politics; Business Studies; Design & Technology; Sport and Physical Education

Lower Sixth Curriculum:
All Lower Sixth students study four AS level subjects. Mathematics and Physics are compulsory. Most of the courses available for Welbeck MOD students at University are engineering based and will therefore require Mathematics and Physics. Mathematics will be studied for six one-hour periods per week, (one per day), with an additional half hour of prep every night. All other subjects are taught for five periods a week.

Upper Sixth Curriculum:
All Upper Sixth students are encouraged to drop an AS level and take up an enrichment subject. In exceptional circumstances, a student may carry on with four A levels.

Enrichment Subjects:
The purpose of the “Enrichment Subjects” is to allow our students to expand their educational knowledge to enable them to develop their skills for their future careers. Some courses are accredited and others are there to enable students to gain confidence and skills in key areas. The subjects are as follows:

Further Mathematics AS/A2; Critical Thinking; Economics AS; European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL); Language Skills; Music Skills; Duke of Edinburgh; Additional Subjects Using Distance Learning; Open University Courses; Extended Project; International Politics and Conflict Resolution

Additional Subjects:
In addition to the AS/A2 academic programme students study both PT and PSHCE (Personal Social Health and Citizenship Education). The PSHCE course emphasises moral, spiritual and leadership development. Arrangements are made to accommodate all faiths and the College day usually begins with a brief service.
