Our safe, self-contained campus is ideal for international students and we have invested in our facilities to ensure that students have an inspiring learning environment.

What will I study at Weymouth College?

Many of our 16-18 year old international students at Weymouth College study the first year of the A Level programme which involves the study of three academic subjects or one of our new Flexible Pathways.

Some students, however, choose to study one of our vocational Level 3 BTEC courses.
