Lola

A Level student Lola Becket secured a place at Durham University to study Japanese Studies after achieving an A* in English Language, an A* in English Literature and an A in Religious Studies.

“I’ve always admired Japanese culture and I’m so excited to immerse myself in the language at University.

Construction and the Built Environment Level 3 student Sulimaan Mohammed has secured his dream apprenticeship with manufacturer Gestamp after gaining a triple distinction star in his results! Sulimaan is set for an engineering technician apprenticeship with the company.

Niamh Else is set for the stardom as she progresses to the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London. Following in the footsteps of Judy Dench, Laurence Olivier and Andrew Garfield, who also studied there, Niamh will study Experimental Art and Performance for three years before hopefully studying for a Masters in Acting.

I was so pleased with my results as I’d revised really hard!

“My tutors at the College and the team at Northern Skills really supported my ambitions and gave me the confidence to apply for the apprenticeship – and I couldn’t have done it without them.

“Coming to Middlesbrough College was the best decision I’ve ever made. Everyone was so welcoming, and my tutors have been amazing throughout my time here.

Our courses

A Levels

A Levels are a great option if you are looking to progress to University. They allow you to keep your options open with focused study of three or four subjects across two years. A Levels are assessed through examinations.

Vocational Courses

Vocational courses are more practical and hands on and will equip you with skills in a specific sector area which can lead to a job or to University. Vocational courses are assessed through a series of assignments, presentations, practical observations, projects and examinations.

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships allow you to earn whilst you learn! You will come to College alongside your job. An apprenticeship is a great choice if you are eager to earn money straight away and build your skills alongside experienced staff. Apprenticeships are assessed through workplace observations, exams and professional discussions.

T Levels

T Levels are a new qualification which are an alternative to A Levels. This 2-year qualification will help you to build the future that you want. You’ll spend 80% of your time in the classroom and 20% of your time in the workplace, putting the skills you’ve learnt into action.

Every T Level student will take an industry placement that lasts at least 45 days, helping you to gain valuable experience in the workplace and allowing employers to meet the new talent in their Tindustry.Levelsprovide the skills, knowledge and experience you need to open the door to highly skilled employment, University or an apprenticeship.

T Levels are assessed through practical employerset projects, assignments and examinations.

“I have really enjoyed all aspects of my apprenticeship. It has been interesting learning the skills needed to carry out everyday tasks whilst at work as well as learning the background knowledge needed to work safely in a range of different laboratory environments whilst at TTE. I would recommend an apprenticeship because you get hands on experience whilst building career connections in the field that you are working in and you also get the technical knowledge needed to work in a range of laboratories should your career path change in the future.

New TTE Centre coming soon!

New £10m top class engineering facility which will bring the TTE Training Centre to our Middlehaven Campus. The new facility will be a UK Centre of excellence for STEM subjects and will include hightech facilities and equipment.

The 18-year-old from Stockton has functional neurological disorder, which can cause seizures – seizures which have in the past been triggered by exam hall environments. We ensured that Mollie had the support and adjustments she needed to do her exams, sending an invigilator to her home to hold her exams there.

“If I hadn’t had the opportunity to have that kind of support, I simply wouldn’t have been able to do my exams. The College were so supportive throughout my studies and were very flexible in helping me get what I needed to complete my A Levels.

Matthew first came to study at Middlesbrough College back in 2013. He completed the first year of his Level 3 Diploma in Business and then progressed to a Hospitality Management apprenticeship. Matthew returned to Middlesbrough College to complete a degree in Business Management with Marketing.

Now, he has a teaching position back in Middlesbrough College’s business department, teaching first year Level 3 business students and the Access to Higher Education Diploma in business.

It’s so strange that I’m now teaching the units that I used to study here, but I’m absolutely loving it! The College are also supporting me through a Professional Graduate Certificate in Education: Education and Training. I’m excited to study here again and inspire future generations.

Taking A Level students higher

A Levels are academic courses and Universities, and employers love them!

A Levels are a good option if you are academic, and you want to progress to University. They allow you to keep your options open and study a range of degree programmes or progress straight into employment.

We also offer a range of A Level equivalent applied courses. These are vocationally orientated qualifications and are generally assessed through a mix of coursework and external examinations. These courses are ideal if you enjoy learning in a practical and workrelated way.

I am really enjoying studying at MC6! I’ve had the opportunity to take part in the Raising Aspirations programme which has been beneficial for my studies and future steps in my education. On the programme we have had many opportunities to take part in online webinars, meet with employers, take part in internships and visit Universities, including Oxford University! I also had the opportunity to take part in a Computer Science masterclass with Cambridge University. I really enjoyed the experience and I’m hoping to apply next year for my degree.”

Types of degrees you can progress to

❱❱ Single Honours Degree

A bachelor’s degree is the most common undergraduate degree which typically takes three years of full-time study. Choosing a course in one subject is known as a single honours degree.

❱❱ Major/Minor Honours Degree

You may also be able to study a minor subject alongside the major subject for a portion of your degree, also known as a major/minor honours degree. The degree title names the major subject with the minor subject afterwards, for example Psychology with Criminology or Law with International Relations.

❱❱ Combined or Joint Honours Degree

Studying two or three major subjects as part of a bachelor’s degree is called a combined or joint honours degree. You’ll pick several modules per subject. Each subject you take will hold equal weight towards your final degree grade. Examples of joint honours degrees include Law and Spanish or Accounting and Business.

❱❱ Degree with placement year

Referred to as a ‘sandwich year’, this qualification is typically a four-year degree with the third year spent either studying abroad or working in a placement. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience learning in a new country or working in the sector you wish to be employed in.

❱❱ Degree apprenticeship

Degree apprenticeships allow you to study towards a bachelor’s degree part-time while also working. They can take between three and six years to complete and are offered by Universities in partnership with companies and professional bodies. You won’t be required to fund your degree apprenticeship, as both your employer and the government will do so.
