Wolsey Hall Oxford offers a wide range of AS level courses.
Most of our A level courses are modular which means students will first need to complete the AS level before then moving on to the full A level course.
We do also have a few subjects which are linear A levels. This means if students opt for the AS level in these subjects, they will not then be able to use these AS levels to then progress onto the full A level. For these subjects, students must decide at the beginning of their A level studies whether they want to do the AS level or full A level.
