Our careers advisers can also provide e-guidance to prospective students if you can’t find the information you need – just email careers@yorkcollege.ac.uk.
Choosing the right course or combination of subjects to study after Year 11 is exciting, but can also seem a bit confusing when there are so many options to choose from. So it’s important to look into the range of professions and careers that courses can lead on to.

These focus on one subject area and are mainly assessed through a combination of coursework and controlled assessment. All levels offer a route to employment and apprenticeships, and Level 3 courses can provide progression to university.
When you apply for a course at college or sixth form, you’ll be asked to write something to say why you want to do the course/subjects you’ve chosen and what you’re aiming to do when you finish. It doesn’t have to be really long, just a short paragraph is fine.

WHICH ROUTE TO CHOOSE?
spelling and grammar - and definitely make sure you’ve spelt the name of the subject you’re applying for correctly. You could get a friend, teacher or family member to read it and give feedback if you’re not sure.
It’s important that you are interested in the course or subjects you are applying for and what you’ve chosen is relevant to any future plans you have. If you don’t yet know what you want to do then that’s okay, but you do need to show that you have an interest in what you are applying to Checkdo.

The tutors are very helpful and supportive and I have enjoyed being here.
My experience has been great as I get to learn how things work and why they work, and I can then apply this knowledge to my workshop tasks, which helps to develop my skills and knowledge.
Lucy Studying A Level Chemistry, Biology and Sociology
I chose to study this T Level because of the site experience opportunity it provides. The course provides you with so much information about the construction industry and work experience, which gives you the edge over other students, not only in getting a job in the industry but also in university applications too.
what type of courses can i do?
My experience at College has been excellent so far, all of my tutors have been supportive and I’ve had the opportunity to meet plenty of new people.
In the future I would like a career in architecture.
sam Studying Construction Design, Surveying & Planning T Level
mert
My tutor has been a great help and has helped me achieve Distinctions throughout the course. The tutors are always on hand to help if you have any questions, and I’ve found my course really enjoyable.
The staff are really supportive and are great to collaborate with, they help us develop wider skills as well, such as our professional behaviours, which help prepare us for the workplace.
I chose A Levels because I wanted to attend university and I chose these subjects in order to access the university courses I was interested in studying. Sociology is also a very different structure from the other two subjects so it made my combination more interesting.
After my course I intend to go to university to study dentistry.
I chose this course as I’m not very good with exams, so assignment work is much more preferable for me. All of my tutors are really helpful and I don’t feel like each assignment has to be rushed, although you do need to make sure you’re organised.
I chose York College after my brother and friends recommended it to me and I’m so glad I chose the College, as I’m treated as an adult.

Studying Applied Science Extended Diploma Level 3
I chose this course because I wanted to get my foot in the door with regards to engineering and I thought that an apprenticeship would be the best option as I could learn on the job and get real experience of working in engineering whilst getting paid.
I chose York College because the facilities are great as there are plenty of areas to study and hang out with friends. They also push you to be a little more independent with your studying and the sociology course here looked really good.
