BUILDING SKILLS FOR A BETTER FUTURE

CHLOE UNDERWOODEsher High School



When starting College I knew very few people as I was new to the area. QMC gave me the confidence and support to meet and make new friends. I found the atmosphere enjoyable and this allowed me personally to focus and work hard. The teachers provided an excellent learning environment and challenged me to push myself further in my study and to achieve my best.

My favourite thing about QMC was that I felt like I was being treated as a grown up but also had all the support I needed. Not long after starting, we were encouraged to explore all of the career options that would be available after completing the course. The support and guidance was thorough and played a significant part in obtaining my offer to continue my studies at university.

In recent years we have invested over £20 million in the College buildings and infrastructure which has resulted in a modern, spacious and engaging environment for students to study in.

The facilities at QMC provide students with a great environment to learn and socialise in. With state of the art science labs and classrooms, a specialist building for music, our own theatre and sports centre and the latest technological equipment, students have access to facilities and resources that many other colleges just cannot compete with.

My favourite things about College are the brilliant facilities and excellent teaching. When choosing which college to study at I discovered that the facilities in the Music department were the most impressive, and I felt assured that QMC would be able to provide the best support.

QMC has been so beneficial to me. The teachers are totally invested in what they are doing and really take the time to help you with anything. This really helped build trust, and inspired me to follow my passion.

Outside of lessons there is plenty of space around the campus for independent study. The social areas such as the Costa Coffee Shop and Café QM are great for spending time with friends. I really enjoy using the gym facilities too.

COLLEGE FIELD TRIPS

Collegefield trips

During your time at College you will have the opportunity to go on field trips and visits, which

will bring to life what you have been studying in the classroom. College field trips are always planned

with an educational focus so, as well as being a great opportunity to visit a new place and have fun, they will enhance your learning and understanding of a subject.

COLLEGE FIELD TRIPS

Media and Film students enjoyed a trip to Los Angeles where highlights included visiting Warner Brothers, Sony and Universal Studios and checking out the sights of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive and Sunset Boulevard.

On a trip to New York Art students gathered artist references from a range of galleries including Moma and The Guggenheim. They also completed various drawing/painting/photographic tasks throughout their stay in the city.

Sport students visited Portsmouth University where they took part in laboratory based fitness tests, lectures and workshops.

Politics students visited the Houses of Parliament, where they saw the Speaker’s procession and had a tour of the House of Lords.

On a trip to Iceland Geography students went on tours of Reykjanes Peninsula, Golden Circle and the South Coast including Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Solheimajökull Glacier, Skogafoss Waterfall and a visit to The Lava Centre Exhibition.

RECENT FIELD TRIPS HAVE INCLUDED...

ELLEN LINKLATERThe Costello School

The amount of opportunities and trips available really helps to boost your personal statement. I attended the Houses of Parliament for the talk, ‘Your Body, Your Consent’ giving us an in depth view accompanying the college topic that we were studying in lessons. This helped me with my university interviews and gave me more to talk about in my personal statement as I could relate it to what I wanted to study at university.

I also was given the opportunity to take part in the Operating Theatre Live; this was really good as it was very hands on, and the experience of being able to test and be put into a medical situation were helpful to prepare for my future career as a vet.

World Challenge students gained an insight into Northern India on a trip to Uttarakhand. As well as trekking and taking part in various cultural excursions they also spent time helping members of the local community.

Duke of Edinburgh Award students enjoyed numerous camping and walking experiences in preparation for their assessed expeditions.

Economics students enjoyed a day out in London with a tour of the historical financial district of the city, and visits to the Bank of England Museum and the London Transport Museum.

Biology students spent a day at ‘LifeLab’ – a genetics teaching facility in Southampton General Hospital where they participated in debates, discussions and hands-on activities relating to genetics.

Psychology students explored the topic of Social Influence on a trip to Krakow in Poland. The students visited four key places, that show the history of Poles and Jews throughout history and in particular the Second World War. During including a tour of Auschwitz, a concentration and extermination camp operated by Nazi Germany during the Second World War, students met a survivor who narrated her experience there as a child.



Teachers have been excellent supporting me with homework, revision or classwork as well as with UCAS applications and what to do in the future. All the teachers are so friendly and supportive when helping me to achieve my full potential and offered one-to-one support when thinking about the choices available to me after QMC.

GETTING WHERE YOU WANT TO GO

Getting to where

and support you throughout your time at College, to make it happen.

STUDENT SUPPORT

Studentsupport

The transition from school to College is new and exciting, but can be a little daunting as well. You have nothing to worry about; this will be the best thing you’ve ever done and you will find a

wealth of support available to you at QMC which will enable you to enjoy your time at College, and achieve your full potential.

25

YOUR PERSONAL TUTOR:

GETTING WHERE YOU WANT TO GO

When you join QMC you will be assigned a Personal Tutor who will be your main point of contact in College. Your Personal Tutor will also be one of your subject teachers so they will get to know you well and will be on hand to help and advise you on all aspects of your College life. You will have regular meetings with your Personal Tutor to discuss how you are doing and how you can improve.

The Help Desk: The Help Desk is your first point of call if you need assistance or have any queries. The Help Desk deals with everything from reporting absences to travel information, and UCAS forms to lost property.

INDIVIDUAL LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

Individual learningand development

At College you will be embarking on something new and exciting, both socially and academically, and will be moving a step closer to independence. Although we are here to help you, you will be expected to work hard and take

responsibility for your own learning and development. Students find that QMC is a step up from school and a great way to prepare for study at university or a job.

At College you will have daily timetabled lessons, but will also have a number of study periods. You should use this time for independent working, coursework, revision and extra reading. You may also want to use

this time to take part in some extra-curricular activities that will help you develop and gain new skills.

Apply by 31st December to avoid

missing out on invitations to bespoke events such as High

Achievers’ and subject specific evenings.

27

INDIVIDUAL LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

I felt lucky to be part of the voluntary community project to India with eight other students as part of a World Challenge expedition. It was an exciting experience inspiring self-discovery, confidence, building my resilience and improved my existing friendships whilst creating new ones too. We embarked upon several hikes to help build water irrigation units and guttering to collect fresh mountain water and brick stoves for boiling water for food and drink. It was very tiring but extremely rewarding. Without the help of Media teachers at QMC, I would not have had the opportunity to embark on such an exciting adventure. I am now instituting my next adventure to Bali. The amount of extra opportunities available has made my time at QMC really worthwhile.

WORK EXPERIENCE AND VOLUNTEERING

Work experience and Volunteering are highly beneficial, both for your university application/CV, and for you as an individual. Taking up a work shadowing or voluntary position will help you develop your skills, boost your confidence and greatly enhance your employment prospects in later life. While you are at College we will highlight opportunities available to you. Many courses make work experience a compulsory module but we will also help you to find placements outside of College time. Opportunities are both varied and diverse to cover a range of career aspirations. For example; Health and Social Care students have spent time volunteering in care settings; potential medics have gained experience shadowing doctors and observing procedures at hospital; future teachers have spent time in local schools each week, as part of their ‘Learning with Children’ enrichment; computer enthusiasts have put their classroom learning into practice during placements at top IT companies; and students keen to pursue a sports orientated career have gained invaluable experience delivering regular coaching sessions to school children.

HIGH ACHIEVERS

Education for High Achievers is a key priority for us. We have a fine and long-standing tradition of providing challenging and stretching opportunities for students who are academically gifted, or talented in another area such as sports or the arts.

QMC students who applied to Oxbridge for 2019 entry were offered places in subjects as diverse as Geography, Chemistry, English and Human Social and Political Sciences.

We also provide additional support for students who are talented in other areas and, for example, play for national sports teams, win prestigious art and media awards, dance and act in national productions or play in highly respected orchestras. Wherever your area of talent lies, we are here to support you to help you achieve your potential and reach your goals.

Download our High Achievers’ Booklet at www.qmc.ac.uk/publications to view the full programme and/or pick up a copy at an Open Evening. High Achievers will also be invited to attend an information evening on 25th March 2020.

HIGHER EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT

HIGHER EDUCATION

Every year around 75% of our students gain places at university. Students go on to a wide range of universities, including Russell Group and Oxford and Cambridge Universities, to study traditional academic courses, medical training courses as well as vocational degrees, degree apprenticeships, performing arts courses and many more.

While at College you will learn essential study and personal organisational skills that will make you an attractive candidate to universities. Your time at QMC will enable you to develop the confidence and maturity to interview well and to make the most of the university place you achieve.

When you apply to university you will have the security of knowing that you will have support and advice every step of the way. You will also have the reassurance that your application is backed by Queen Mary’s College, one of the most respected sixth form colleges in England.

At QMC there was a lot of support for students applying for university and I benefitted from being part of a group specifically aimed at potential veterinary and medical students. The sessions broke down the entire application process into different sections and provided support specific to each part. For example, they guided us through the UKCAT and held practice interviews so that we were fully prepared. I secured my place at the University of Southampton where I am studying Biomedical Science.

EMPLOYMENT

While you are at College, as well as your qualifications, you will gain skills that will make you attractive to employers. You will grow in confidence and develop your communication, organisational and time management skills. You will also have the opportunity to undertake enrichment courses that will enhance your CV.



Upon leaving QMC I secured a degree apprenticeship with CGI. I get to be a paid employee whilst also studying for a degree in Digital and Technology Solutions with a business management focus. My experience at QMC was excellent and I enjoy returning to the College to offer current students advice based on my experiences. I would definitely recommend the vocational courses if you are unsure about exams. That definitely helped to get me where I am now.

BUSINESS EDUCATION

Businesseducation

Every day you will come into contact with the business world, for example, when buying your lunch or working

part-time. Business Studies will help you understand this world by looking at how businesses are created, develop, grow, survive crises and perhaps eventually decline. It focuses on people whose

skills affect this process and uses theory to analyse the cause and effects of different management approaches.

ELOISE L’HEUREUXSherfield School

I thoroughly enjoy studying Business here at QMC. I find it very interesting and the Extended Diploma course is really good for me because it covers all aspects of business without having the stress of exams. The teachers will help and support you and they will always make sure that you are performing at your best. College has a very relaxed environment and you will meet so many new people. My time here as a student has been very positive.



BUSINESS EDUCATION

41

LEVEL 3 COURSES

Business A Level

In Business you will learn about topics such as: finance, marketing, operations, people at work and the economy. You will experience a range of learning methods such as using case studies on specific companies (individual and group work), role play, PowerPoint presentations and general theory work. A structured series of activities will test your understanding of the material covered. Business Studies is a very broad subject with paths which complement many other areas of study. There will be the opportunity to benefit from guest speakers and visits to help you apply theory to real life business contexts.

Business Level 3 Extended Diploma

This two year course is particularly suited to those who like practical learning and assessment through a mix of coursework and examined components. This is a work-related course designed to develop awareness of skills required in a business environment. You will experience a range of learning and assessment methods from role play to work experience. You learn by completing projects and assignments that are based on realistic workplace situations, activities and demands. The course covers business areas such as: marketing, human resources and retailing. There will be the opportunity to participate in study visits as part of the course.

Business Level 3 Single Diploma

This course offers a specialist business qualification with a vocational focus which can broaden your programme of

study. Topics include Accountancy, Marketing and The Business Environment. You will gain credits for completed coursework and examined modules. The CTEC Level 3 Certificate is equivalent to half an A Level, the Introductory Diploma is a full A Level.

Economics A Level

The key idea in the study of Economics is the scarcity of the world’s resources. These resources are used to produce the goods and services we consume. Economics is a social science, which studies the choices that we, as individuals and as a society, have to make because of the scarcity of these resources. The outcomes of these decisions have enormous impact on us, our society and the environment. The course is designed to give you a better understanding of the world and most of the material will deal with contemporary issues such as austerity, rising and falling prices, the steel industry, the Euro crisis, the near collapse of the banking system, the UK productivity gap. Economics is divided into two broad units: microeconomics (the study of decision making at the level of the individual consumer and firm); and macroeconomics (‘the big picture’ of how the economy as a whole operates). During the first year some of the content of Economics will contain issues which you will have studied in GCSE subjects like Geography (trade and development), Business Studies (demand and markets), Science (the environment) and History (empires and the causes of wars).

There is always extra support to help you achieve at QMC. I attended the Creative Writing enrichment, and this was extra to my A level classes. The lessons were extremely useful, giving in-depth studies, widening my knowledge of the subject and covering wider aspects of the course.

I am grateful to everyone at QMC. A great group of people just trying their best to prepare all students.



ENGLISH

43

LEVEL 3 COURSES

English Language A Level

A Level English Language is a subject which is very different from GCSE English. At university level this subject is usually described as ‘Linguistics’. Through wide reading, writing, analytical and investigative work you will gain a greater awareness of the way language is used in a variety of contexts. The course will involve a significant amount of reading, including texts from as far back as 1600, as well as close analytical work, using technical terminology (such as grammatical descriptions) for the analysis of many different kinds of speech and writing. You will study regional and social dialects of English, language and occupation, language and gender, language and ethnicity, English throughout the world and language change. Attitudes to different varieties of language are a key part of the course. You need to be curious, open-minded and willing to adopt new and rigorous ways of studying the language you use every day. (Please note that English Language is not a creative writing course.)

English Literature A Level

You will study a range of literature from different periods covering prose, poetry and plays (including Shakespeare). You will study eight books over two years. Through this course you will gain a wider understanding of the range of Literature that has been written both in this country and in other English-speaking countries. Most of the learning takes place through class activities, discussions, independent research and essay writing. English

Literature is a highly valued qualification for almost every field of study in Higher Education, and fits well with almost any combination of A Level subjects. It is also a desirable qualification for employment because of the range of communication skills you develop during the course.

Further English (enrichment)

This is an enrichment course for students in their second year of studying A Level English Literature. It is an extension course to broaden your understanding of the canon of English Literature and to enable you to put your set texts in their literary and cultural context. You will look at a broad range of Literature written over the last ten centuries. There is no homework or formal assessment for this course but you will be expected to undertake additional reading. This course is particularly useful for students thinking of studying English Literature at university, but it will be beneficial for anyone taking English Literature to A Level.

There is no assessment for this course.

Creative Writing (enrichment)

This enrichment course is an opportunity for people who write stories, poems, plays, TV scripts etc. to develop their skills and to learn more about the craft of writing. Students must be prepared to write in a variety of genres and to share their work with each other.

There is no assessment for this course.

You will study different types of crimes and will look at the role of technology and how it’s contributed to the creation of new crimes, e.g. cybercrimes. You will also have the opportunity to investigate how the media can play a part in societal stereotypes of criminals as well as the ongoing problems of fear of crime. You will explore criminal behaviour as well as social policy and methods of punishment e.g. does prison work?

Geography A Level

This stimulating and flexible course will give you the opportunity to engage with the relationship of human populations to each other over space and time, study the relationship between human populations with their physical environment at a variety of scales from the local to the global, and consider your own role in relation to themes and issues being studied. Geography also involves a range of skills and outside work with lots of exciting field trips on offer too.

Law A Level

Planning a career in the Legal Sector? Interested in the operation of Law in society? This course examines the legal rules contained in case Law and legislation and will provide you with the opportunity to develop an understanding of legal terminology,

methods and procedures. It will also enable you to examine the nature of Law including its role in society and its relationship with morality, justice and technology.

Psychology A Level

Psychology challenges how students think about themselves and the decisions they make about their lives. It covers topics such as memory, responses to authority, responses to people in need, sleep patterns, causes of psychopathy, etc. It allows us to consider the motives of others, to empathise with others and to understand how a wide variety of treatments and therapies can play a significant part in people’s lives. Understanding how different cultures, social groups and families can lead to particular behaviour also adds an awareness of different values and expectations which affect us and this will help you to understand both the similarities and differences which make the world a very interesting place to be in, within a scientific, research based environment. Psychology is the science of the mind and is taught as a science subject. It is relevant to a wide variety of job fields, including Health, Police, Social Work, Teaching as well as Advertising, Sales and Marketing and should be attractive to a very wide audience. In the classroom, participation and opinion is invited and encouraged and therefore this subject would appeal to those who are particularly interested in people, in current affairs and facilitating debate about a wide variety of topics. We offer the opportunity for students to join a student led psychology group or to pursue an additional enrichment in either an Extended Project Qualification where the possibility to conduct a piece of investigative research may be realised, or to join a non-examined forensic psychology group with a series of guest speakers and engaging group activities. You will study the course for two years and will sit three exams at the end in order to gain an A Level qualification.

This is an examined subject with no coursework.

Sociology A Level

The world over, people wear much or little jewellery, have many or few children, value or shun the elderly, are peaceful or aggressive, enjoy different kinds of art and music and hold different religious beliefs. While people may be biologically the same, they differ in their tastes, behaviours and beliefs. The capacity for such startling differences is human culture; the study of how people live is the discipline of Sociology. Sociology is the systematic


study of how human societies shape the lives of the people who live in them and how people shape the cultures they live in. People have created cultures and subcultures that are complex, fascinating and utterly different. Within these cultures individuals are able to create identities which may emphasise their difference from others. This course will appeal to you if you are interested in exploring the complex nature of study and the differing life chances that exist between individuals as a result of their social class, gender, ethnicity, sexuality and religion. Those who study Sociology:

�Appreciate the complexity and diversity of social situations

�Develop their research, judgement and evaluation skills

�Be able to make reasoned arguments

� Develop their knowledge and understanding of research methods, analysis and statistical techniques

�Develop opinions and new ideas on societal issues

�Acquire the ability to understand, scrutinise and re-assess common perceptions of the social world

�Relate sociological knowledge to social policy

Sociology works well with the other social science/humanities subjects such as Politics, Economics, Geography and History.

MODERN LANGUAGES

ModernLanguages Every language you learn will

open doors to a world of exciting opportunities, allow you to tap into

new networks, and enrich your education. QMC offers a wide range of language courses, from beginners’ courses to A Levels. All lessons are planned to ensure that you benefit from tuition that focuses on your

individual needs and interests, the rewards of which are demonstrated

in our outstanding results.

BECCA HOLLANDThe Costello School

There are so many opportunities available to language students at QMC. On the French Language trip to Toulouse I was able to utilise the language I had learnt in the classroom and practice in a real environment, ordering food and drink in a Café, whilst travelling etc. I enjoyed studying French and German, the teachers were excellent and smaller class sizes allowed teachers to invest one-to-one support. At QMC the resources are amazing and the teachers are so dedicated to their students and their individual learning needs.



MODERN LANGUAGES

51

LEVEL 3 COURSES

If you are interested in languages and communication, and enjoy learning about other cultures and ways of life, then Modern Foreign Language (MFL) courses could be an enjoyable part of your studies. Similarly, if you are interested in the business world, in travel or tourism, or in journalism and the media, then you are also likely to find the courses appropriate. There are a number of options in the courses where you can choose a topic to suit your interests. Whether you want to use the language for work, further study, training or leisure, these courses will equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge. Many of our students study more than one language and a large number continue languages at university.

French, German and Spanish A Level

A broad range of topics are studied during the course, including:

French: Multicultural France; social problems and changing trends; crime and rehabilitation; politics and the history of demonstration; French cinema and music; cultural heritage and history; cyber-society

German: Immigration, integration and racism; youth culture fashion and trends; digital advances; social trends and modern families; Germany and the EU; politics and youth; art and architecture

Spanish: Regional identity, cultural life and heritage, social change, equal rights and traditional values; monarchies, republics and dictatorships; popular movements

There are two written papers (2 hours 30 minutes and 2 hours) testing listening, reading and translation and two essays on French, German or Spanish film/literature. There is also a speaking test lasting approximately 30 minutes in which you discuss an issue studied during the course and your findings from your individual research project.

Italian/Fast Track A Level

In order to enrol on Fast Track courses you must have studied a language at GCSE and achieved at least a grade 6. During the first year you will progress rapidly through the basics of the language. In the second year the range of activities and areas of study will mirror those described above for the A Level courses. In order to achieve this you will have additional support and guidance sessions to help you develop your language skills.



You can also study a Beginners Language,

including German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish, via the enrichment

programme.

HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY AND POLITICS

HistoryPhilosophy

These subjects offer new ways to see, think about, and understand the world.

How did our world come to be the way it is? How is the country run, and how should it be run? Can we actually know anything about the world!? How can we test the claims and arguments

made by other people?

& Politics AIMEE STORERAldworth School

I chose QMC because when I visited the Welcome Day I could see that the teachers were passionate about their subjects. I liked the atmosphere and excellent facilities around the college. Having attended the Department of Education with Politics, it was an amazing opportunity as we were allowed to work with civil servants on development policies which was a great experience. I really enjoyed my time at QMC as I was encouraged to stretch to the best of my abilities that my teachers believed I could achieve.



HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY AND POLITICS

53

LEVEL 3 COURSES

Whether studying an ancient Roman document, or the very latest developments in Politics, our students become highly skilled in analysing information and making connections. In presenting a case for a particular understanding of a historical period, or a particular ethical position in Philosophy, our students learn to argue intelligently, in essays and in discussion. We help students to ask excellent questions, from Philosophical enquiries into what exists, to thoughts about which sources to trust most in History.

Philosophy, Religion and Ethics A Level

In Philosophy, Religion and Ethics, you’ll study the work of some of the world’s greatest thinkers, as we seek answers to these big questions. You’ll ask questions, argue, try out ideas and generally wonder whether you can justify the beliefs you have. Philosophy, Religion and Ethics will make you think: it is likely to make your brain hurt, and you may never see the world in quite the same way again!

Its main tool is argument. This is a highly analytical and critical subject. Philosophers don’t just believe things, they argue for them. Philosophical theories are very profound, abstract and go “to the heart” of the debate.

In addition, you will study key aspects of the Buddhist tradition. Buddhism is also known as eastern philosophy. As a religion, it is not so much concerned with questions about God, but about developing an enlightened way of life.

Politics A Level

How does the UK political system work? Does it work!? How could it be improved? What are the ‘big ideas’ of politics – from conservatism to feminism, and from liberalism to communism? How is American politics different to British? Politics is a highly topical and relevant course, in which you will discover where you stand on a wide range of very important issues. Our students highly value the in-house booklets we provide and very much enjoy the political simulation opportunities we create for students to experience the political world first-hand, such as a mock Parliament.

History A Level

We offer a choice of three different History courses:

Modern History: the British Empire, the Cold War and the Position of Women 1791-1918

Early Modern/Medieval History: the Crusades, Religious Conflict c1529-1570 and Exploration and Discovery 1445-1545

Ancient History: Sparta and the Ancient Greek world and the Roman Emperors

All three provide an equally respected A Level at the end of the course. The courses differ in assessment and content. In terms of assessment, Ancient History has no coursework, whereas coursework constitutes 20% of the marks in Early Modern History and Modern History.

However, you should make your choice largely on the basis of which countries or periods you most want to study. Some students like to focus on areas where they feel familiar – perhaps because they have studied them at GCSE. Others want a change or a new challenge. The choice is yours!

MATHEMATICS

LAUREN MCGIVERNTestbourne Community School

Studying Maths at QMC was excellent because the teachers are very enthusiastic and encourage and motivate all students. The college environment is very different to school, it is much more independent with research and learning alongside other students who have similar interests to myself. I like how friendly and how approachable I found both teachers and students during my time at QMC.



MathematicsThere is no doubt that mathematics is important for its applications in virtually every field of study, whether it be in the sciences, business, sport or

medicine, but hopefully you will also enjoy studying mathematics for its own sake and come to appreciate its power and diversity.

MATHEMATICS

55

LEVEL 3 COURSES

In order to solve problems in the real world, we often begin by translating the problem into mathematical equations to give us a clearer appreciation of the underlying aspects of the problem. We then solve the problem using mathematics and apply our findings to make predictions of what will happen in future circumstances. Where else can you solve an infinite number of problems in one go?

Mathematics A Level

This two-year course is highly valued by universities and businesses alike. It will help you to develop the analytical and problem-solving skills employers need. Building on your GCSE algebra skills, you will learn how to interpret information and prove important results, using mathematical equations to model real-world situations. A combination of pure and applied mathematics will help you to think logically and make accurate observations. Maths is critical to understanding science and sits well alongside any combination of A Level subjects. During the first year you will study graphs and functions, calculus and proof. Alongside this pure maths, you’ll meet some practical applications in statistics and mechanics. The second year follows on, with algebra again making up two-thirds of the course and applied maths providing the rest. Exams will assess your problem-solving skills.

The statistical element looks at how to analyse data and draw conclusions about what it tells us. It covers correlation, probability and different distributions. Mechanics involves forces and motion, using equations to model practical situations and predict how an object will move.

Mathematics (Core)

Core Maths is an additional one year course to support A Levels with a significant mathematical content. Building on GCSE skills but with a focus on practical problem-solving, it is particularly useful for science students and anyone studying A Levels that will involve analysing data. Many A level courses now include a greater emphasis on mathematical skills and understanding statistical calculations. The course covers data analysis, personal finance and mathematical modelling. It will explore statistical measures and probability, including the normal distribution, applying these tools to predict outcomes and make sensible estimates about everyday situations based on limited data. The course will sit alongside your A Levels, boosting your credentials and giving you additional UCAS points. It is a highly valued qualification, recognised by universities and employers, equivalent to 40% of a full A Level.

Mathematics (Double) A Level

This course is for students who want to delve more deeply into mathematics and leads to two A Levels, in Mathematics and Further Maths. Again, the course comprises both pure and applied maths and is especially suitable for those who wish to go on to study a maths-related course at university, such as Economics, Financial Mathematics or STEM. The course is fast-paced and highly rewarding for those who like a challenge. The pure maths

Media and film both play a vital role in contemporary society. It is essential

that young people possess the tools to understand and analyse the role of the

(fake) media and the huge impact it has on their thinking, behaviour and other elements of their lives. We are supported by a wealth of technical expertise and industry-standard

equipment which enables our students to excel in national competitions. Whether you prefer practical work or theoretical

exploration the department has something to offer any individual who is driven to explore the media in greater depth.

LEVEL 3 COURSES

Media Studies A Level

We live in a world of competing messages, with many of these circulating via the interconnected industries that we commonly call ‘the media’. Making sense of these messages, and the ideologies contained therein, is vital if we wish to fully understand the world in which we live and possess the ability to make sensible and informed decisions.

Media Studies is an academic discipline that helps people to navigate today’s media-saturated landscape by exploring the content, history and cultural impact of various media forms. As a student, you will do this by examining the relationship between text, audience and industry and exploring many of the debates surrounding the nature of that relationship.

The coursework element, making up 30% of the overall grade, will involve being tasked with transferring your theoretical knowledge into practical skills. The coursework briefs include creating music videos, original TV programming and magazine design.

Media Studies Level 3 Extended Diploma

This is a rigorous and intensive course which will prepare you for a practical media production or theory based degree at university and can provide pathways in to the industry. You will gain an insight into the structure of the media industry with a practical knowledge of how professionals work to produce media texts for the film and print industries and create 2-D computer games. You will develop a solid grounding in ways to analyse, research, plan and produce media products.

Furthermore you will learn about the way in which the Creative Industries are structured and the various professional roles available within these industries. You will learn about the research methodologies that producers of media products use in order to identify the target audience for their products, create proposals and pitch their ideas. Additionally, you will learn how to use verbal and non-verbal communication to present your research results, ideas and work in a professional manner. The practical production units will develop your skills in lens based media, image manipulation and audio visual editing in order for you to complete a two year industry standard portfolio.

There are two mandatory, external exam units in each year which will test your knowledge on both your industry understanding and practical skills.

You will be expected to work both in groups and individually on specific units.

Media Studies Level 3 Single Diploma

This new course is very much based on the layout of the Extended Diploma but has a maximum of four units only, one of which will be a mandatory unit based on the media industry with the other three units made up of filming, game design and digital-magazine spread components.

Film Studies A Level

Film is quite possibly the most powerful and ubiquitous media form that has ever existed. However, despite what some people think, film is not merely a popular form of entertainment. While many works may be placed

in this category, other films often come closer to status of art. It should also be remembered that the film industry is just that, an industry: a business with the primary goal of making money. While Hollywood is, in many ways, at the forefront of this, most national cinemas have their own equivalent.

Regardless of whether you prefer high-budget, low-brow Hollywood blockbusters or Scandinavian art cinema, any film can, and should, be studied. Film Studies is an academic discipline that examines the form, content, historical, cultural and economic aspects of cinema. Taking Film Studies will help you to explore cinema as an audio-visual form of creative expression and to understand the important relationships between the production, distribution and consumption of films.

The A level in Film Studies has a coursework component, which accounts of 30% of the overall grade, in which you will transfer your theoretical knowledge into practical skills but creating your own, original short film.

Biology A Level

Biology is the study of life and living processes and it is never far from the headlines. Stem-cell research has the potential to revolutionise modern medicine, the use of genetically modified crops could help feed the planet and deforestation could dramatically alter the world’s ecosystems, but to truly understand the implications these changes could have on our lives; Biology is key. Whether you are interested in the discoveries of the Human Genome Project, the implications of the obesity epidemic or even whether life exists elsewhere in the universe, Biology is the course for you. Biologists are concerned with all these issues and their skills are vital when investigating the living world around us.

Chemistry A Level

Chemistry is a fascinating subject that greatly impacts almost every aspect of modern society and continues to revolutionise the way we live. Starting with the idea of sub-atomic particles, chemistry develops an understanding of how things around us – and inside us – work at a molecular level. This allows the design and production of medicines, fuels, sophisticated materials, agricultural chemicals, dyes, cosmetics, etc. Chemistry also allows us to understand how processes in the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and our own bodies function, enabling us to avoid damaging those systems or to intervene in a helpful way when problems are detected. It is chemistry that determines the nature

of unknown substances, or their concentrations – vital in tackling drug smuggling, solving crime or tracking down sources of toxic pollution. Modern chemists take a leading role in providing the solutions for tomorrow’s needs, whether in terms of energy demands, food production, environmental protection, technological developments, or just a really beautiful new shade of green for dying fabric!

Physics A Level

Physics underpins EVERYTHING! From the origin of the Universe itself to the tiny structure of the fundamental particles it consists of; the entire history of time and space! It is often known as the fundamental science, the branch that studies the natural phenomena of the Universe and tries to determine the laws that govern our lives. If this all sounds a bit scary and too big to handle, don’t worry, you are surrounded by Physics and you already use it every day. Physics allows us to communicate wirelessly, to play sports, to see the world. Whilst theoretical Physicists ask (and try to answer) the really big questions such as; “How did the Universe begin?” and “Is time travel possible?” other Physicists apply their understanding to solve problems. They develop new forms of energy production and design new medical scanners and radiotherapy treatments for cancer. No matter what interests you have, there is an area of Physics for you.

Our 21st century world is a dynamic and ever-changing place where we can now stream high definition movies to our smartphones, video chat with friends and relatives on the other side of the planet and store huge amounts

of music in the cloud! We can design cars using a laptop, use voice control to browse the internet, even do our banking online at home in our pyjamas. All of these advances are made possible because of the work of computer scientists. Computer Science is the course that will help you build the fundamental skills and understanding required to make sense of our digital age. By writing your own programs and apps you will develop your problem-solving skills and your logical, mathematical thinking to perhaps imagine the technology that is yet to come!

This is an exciting choice of course which will see students gain a valuable skillset ready to progress onto a level 3 programme, further training or directly into employment. Students will gain valuable experience studying a variety of concepts associated with sport

as well as developing a range of key skills such as leadership, team work, confidence, literacy and numeracy. This is a rewarding, applied course which is theory and practically based. It requires a good level of organisation and commitment from students. To achieve the qualification students will complete various work based projects and assignments that are based on realistic sporting situations, activities and demands.

ENGLISH

English Language GCSE aims to develop your skills in critically reading and responding to a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts from the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty first centuries. To prepare you for the unseen texts in the final examinations, you will study texts covering topics such as: crime and punishment, war and conflict, science and technology and travel and adventure. We aim to develop your enjoyment of reading as well as your analytical skills. The course will also help you to develop your writing skills across a number of genres for different purposes with a particular focus on developing your linguistic accuracy and vocabulary.

Our excellent pass-rate means your future plans won’t be disrupted: you can gain that qualification early in the year whilst at the same time getting on with your other chosen courses. Job done!

Our teaching staff are all friendly and supportive subject specialists. Once you see your skills and knowledge improving, your confidence will grow. Whatever your school experience, we aim to make a positive difference, giving you the skills you need to make sense of a world of numbers!

The change from school to college was big at first but I got used to the staff, teachers, students and my environment as the weeks went on. I have learnt a lot of information, gained a lot of confidence and I believe I have become smarter over my 5 years at QMC. I really like Maths, English, History and Science. I liked getting a lot of feedback on my work because my teachers put a lot of effort in and challenged me to become better.

Being at QMC has made me feel happy. The staff are all really nice people and they have given me so much support.

I have enjoyed lots of things like English, Maths, Drama and The Anvil Creative Connections project. I have achieved a lot and am proud of my English and Maths work. I also did work experience with the Premises team and that made me feel really happy. I think I have grown up a lot in the two years I have been at college. I’m looking forward to the Pathways course next year and doing more work experience.
