If you're aiming to study engineering, physics, chemistry, or any STEM-related degree at university, the A Level STEM & Engineering Bundle is the ideal place to start. Combining maths, physics, and chemistry, this bundle gives you the academic foundation and problem-solving mindset that top universities look for in science and engineering applicants.
You’ll earn three nationally recognised A Level qualifications, each identical to those studied in schools and colleges. That means you’ll sit the same exams and gain the same UCAS points (up to 168 in total) all through flexible online study from home. With no fixed term dates, you can enrol today and begin learning whenever you're ready.
Why choose this bundle?
- University-ready: Maths, physics, and chemistry are core subjects for most engineering and science-based university degrees. This bundle gives you the academic profile that’s highly valued by top universities.
- Complete STEM alignment: These three A Levels complement each other closely. You’ll see how the maths you learn directly supports your understanding of physics and chemistry, helping everything click into place.
- Opens doors to high-impact careers: This bundle is ideal if you're working towards careers in engineering, data science, aerospace, chemical engineering, medical research, or any tech-based field.
- UCAS points eligible: Earn up to 168 UCAS points with nationally recognised qualifications that carry the same weight as those taught in traditional schools and colleges.
