How To Apply
Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales
We’ll inspire you to achieve, no matter which A Levels you choose to study with us. In every classroom there’s an experienced and knowledgeable tutor who’ll give you confidence, relevant skills, and the motivation to achieve your full potential.
As a sixth form student at Coleg Cambria, you’ll also be valued as an individual and receive the care and support you need to secure your perfect career or higher education course. We have an outstanding reputation for student success for a reason.
In addition to the A level subjects you choose yourself, we will further support you to achieve your potential by enrolling you on the Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales qualification which you will study as an additional A level and which will assist you to develop additional academic and employability skills.
From September 2023 the majority of AS and A Level students will be timetabled for 4 days per week instead of 5 days per week.
The amount of lesson time devoted to each subject has not changed, but most students will find that they will be in lessons for most of the time they are onsite, having less free periods.
To be successful at A Levels it is vital that you devote significant amounts of time to studying outside of lessons and so you will need to carefully balance any other commitments you have – part time work or representative sport, for example – with the additional time you have to devote to studying for your subjects. A good “rule of thumb” is one hour of study outside of lesson for every hour of class.
If you make the decision to study an extra subject, it is highly likely that your timetable will cover 5 days.
Learners are always welcome to attend the College on the day that they are not timetabled to do so, this would be the perfect time to study outside of lessons or to seek further guidance from staff.

“Studying my A Levels at Deeside 6th allowed me to access a variety of opportunities and support to learn and succeed and gave me the tools I needed to apply to the University of Cambridge, where I have loved studying for the past two years!

“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in the future, so I chose a range of different subjects to study at A Level. I’m now employed by the BBC as a Presenter and News Correspondent and studying at Yale Sixth gave me the confidence and skills to go onto university. I made some amazing friends, had some great teachers who I’ll never forget and had a great time in Wrexham!
