AAQs and Qualification Reform Information

Some of our qualifications are changing. From September 2026, large BTECs will no longer exist in Applied Science and Health & Social Care.
The government has now confirmed that students must instead study smaller qualifications called AAQs.
As a result, we will no longer be able to offer triple Applied Science, or double/triple Health and Social care.
The new AAQ qualifications aren’t in our prospectus yet, so we've created a web page to list what we'll be offering to replace Applied Science and Health & Social Care in September 2026.
