Freedom for thinkers

Options at Exeter College

Beyond mathematics

Students who have not selected to study Physics AND Computer Science may study for one subject at Exeter College. 

Broad options

Students may elect to study any of the AS, BTEC or A-level options available at the College , subject to timetabling, and will have the option to continue with this subject in year 13.

Routes for self development

Alternatively, students may select to take an enrichment option from the College’s “Extend” programme; this may not result in a qualification but will broaden students’ experience.

Close at hand

Exeter College is situated just a few minutes’ walk from EMS and is an outstanding provider of post-16 education.

Extensive resources

EMS students will have full access to the extensive resources and facilities of the College and will gain a richer 6th form experience by working alongside College students and staff.

We'll apply for you

If you’d like to study a subject at Exeter College, you don’t need to complete a separate application, just indicate your choice on the EMS application form and we’ll do the rest (except Sports Academy applications which students need to manage separately).

Find out more about the level 3 qualifications the college offers and their Extend options too. 

A-level Options

All students take two A-levels in Mathematics which we teach as a coherent whole. Lots of time for exploration and discovery - what could be more fun?
In Physics lessons you'll make links with maths and utilise the coding you learn through EMC, developing a strong foundation for further study.
Develop abstract thinking, general problem solving, mathematical reasoning, scientific and engineering-based thinking.
If there is a subject you're keen to study that EMS cannot offer, you may enjoy taking one of your A-levels at Exeter College.
