Reimagining sixth form education with a unique degree pathway
Our pre-tertiary full-time degree pathway is a work-based learning programme that starts at the sixth form level and leads directly to a BSc degree.
A hands-on approach to sixth form education
Our pre-tertiary full-time degree pathway is a work-based learning programme that starts at the sixth-form level and leads directly to a BSc degree. This innovative programme offers a comprehensive, immersive experience that allows students to integrate classroom learning with real-world work experiences in fields such as business management, computer science and finance. Students will engage in hands-on training, mentorship and professional development activities aimed at preparing them for a successful career in their chosen field.
Why work-based learning?
Pre-tertiary work-based learning provides an excellent opportunity for students to gain valuable skills, explore career paths and achieve professional growth, ultimately enhancing their employability and success in the workforce. Students will each be assigned a position with one of our apprenticeship programme partners. Each student will be paired with a dedicated mentor who will provide guidance, support and feedback throughout the entire journey to help them navigate challenges, set goals and maximise their learning and growth.
We are committed to ensuring that the students’ work-based learning experiences align with their academic studies to enhance their understanding of course material and facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the classroom and the workplace.
