More A-level Choice
Choose to study A-levels at the College and you’ll have access to the
widest range of A-level subjects across the county as part of the North
Pembrokeshire Federation. We’ll treat you like an adult and you’ll be
encouraged to study independently but our team of highly qualified teachers
will always be on hand to provide help and support when you need it.
College students receive the best support (officially ‘Grade 1’) in preparation
for university and careers. Our A-level students consistently gain good
A-level results and receive substantial help in completing their UCAS
applications, resulting in excellent progression opportunities to degree courses
at the UK’s top universities. Helping students to gain progression to medical
degrees is a particular speciality of the A-level support staff at the College.
More Level 3 Choices
Although A-levels are the traditional route to university, Extended
Diplomas are gaining popularity as an alternative. Diplomas offer a
practical method of studying at advanced level. Students are continually
assessed through project work, practical tasks and assignments. An
Extended Diploma is worth 3 A-levels.
17 BTEC Extended Diplomas (worth 3 A-levels)
Studying for an Extended Diploma is another route that could secure you
a place at university. Students often comment that having completed the
diploma in the subject area they are pursuing makes the first year of a
degree much easier.
Extended Diplomas available at
the College include:
• Animal Management
• Art and Design (Fashion and Clothing)
• Art and Design (Interactive)

Welsh Language/Bilingual Provision
Pembrokeshire College is committed to promoting the use of the Welsh
language and meeting the needs of Welsh speaking students and members of
the public.
Welsh speaking students are able to undertake aspects of their course through
the medium of Welsh or bilingually and are also able to receive bilingual
support in order to maintain and develop their Welsh/bilingual skills.
Non-Welsh speaking students are also given the opportunity to acquire Welsh
language skills either within their chosen programme of study or as part of the
College’s Enrichment and Enhancement programme. Call our Welsh
Development Officer on 01437 753 435 or our Bilingual Champion on
