Year 12 & 13 Study

APPLY FOR YEAR 12 – September 2026

Our Sixth Form is different to the standard post-16 experience. In our Sixth Form, we help students develop independence and freedom, supporting and challenging them to learn in a way that prepares them for the world of work.

We offer a varied STEM focused curriculum that allows students to combine A levels with BTECs in a small learning environment where they are really known by their teachers.

We are now accepting applications to join us for Year 12 in  September 2026! Please complete an application form using the link below.

Our Sixth Formers enjoy incredible facilities and equipment, close connections with employers and pastoral support tailored just for them, encouraging them to grow and develop into young adults, ready for the next step.

But that’s not all. Unique to UTC Swindon’s Sixth Form is:

SPECIALISED AND FOCUSED CURRICULUM

We offer a choice of A levels and BTECs in a wide variety of subjects including a Level 3 extended diploma in Engineering, exclusive to us locally

WORLD-CLASS EMPLOYER CONNECTIONS

We enjoy almost weekly visits from local employers large and small, and our students benefit from face to face learning, project days and work placements

GENUINE PREPARATION FOR WORK

Industry standard equipment and a curriculum carefully designed with key employers to make learning as relevant and transferable to the world of work as possible.

Entry requirements

All our courses require a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above. The Technical Engineering pathway additionally requires a 5 or above in Maths, or a 6 or above to study the Extended Diploma. The A Level pathway requires higher grades in the subject you wish to study: a 5 or above in English, and a 6 or above for Maths and Science subjects.

What can you study here?

Our Sixth form curriculum, like the Year 10 and Year 11 curriculum, is very focused on our specialisms of engineering and cyber security, and the other STEM subjects. 

The graphic below shows the options for study in our Sixth Form: students can choose combinations of subjects shown below, provided they study the equivalent of at least three A Levels. Every student must choose either to study Core Maths (worth 1/2 an A Level) or A Level Maths.

Please come and talk to us at an open event, or contact us here if you’d like to discuss a particular combination of subjects.
