Is Level 3 English an approved subject for University Entrance?+
Yes. English is on the approved subject list, and 14 credits at Level 3 in it can count as one of the three subjects UE requires.
What does "significant connections" actually ask for?+
A sustained comparison of texts around one controlling idea, rather than a list of similarities. Choosing the right idea early is most of the work, and we help students do that.
Do you prepare students for Scholarship English?+
Yes. Scholarship rewards originality and sophisticated argument well beyond Level 3, and needs deliberate preparation rather than more revision.
