OUR CURRICULUM

Whether you wish to work in sports or would like to pursue sport for academic study - we run BTEC courses from level 1 to 4 and an A Level in physical education which can lead you to the right place in your studies and career.

Your sports career doesn’t thrive just in the classroom - any student can apply to join one of our highly successful sports academies and get access to specialist coaches and facilities. As you challenge yourself on another level and continue to form a positive mentality - who knows where sport could lead you?

All students are welcome to use our free two-floor gym at the Southgate Campus, complete with a gym supervisor and programme support. Get involved in a range of sport enrichment activities, including table tennis and self-defence classes. We also encourage talented individuals to join our Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS).

In order to help your career progression, most of our courses involve a considerable degree of work experience, which the College can assist you in finding. The exact amount of work experience required for each course will vary, but you can discuss this with tutors at your interview.

Courses for 16-18 year olds

The full-time courses on this page are mainly for students aged 16-18. BTEC courses are designed as a more vocational pathway to higher education or employment, and the starting level depends on students' achieved grades.  We recommend you apply for the course that fits your predicted or achieved grades (entry requirements are listed on the course pages under the tab : WHAT QUALIFICATIONS OR EXPERIENCE DO I NEED?). Apply now to study next September - a tutor will make sure you are on the right course and level at your interview.

Barnet and Southgate College guarantees to place every student on a suitable course.  If you don’t meet the entry criteria for one course, we will find you another suitable study programme to help you progress and achieve your ambitions.
