At The Sheffield Sixth Form, we have developed a range of new and exciting career pathways for you to choose to study from that sit across six different sectors.

Each sector is made up of three distinct pathways that directly align to different careers. Each recommended pathway has a carefully selected collection of related A Level subjects that you can choose to study. The subjects that we have selected for each sector are based on the skill sets that careers information, universities and employers are highlighting as the most important.

Students will choose one career pathway to study from the sector that interests them most. The career pathways each contains one or two core A Level subjects that have to be studied. Students will then choose their third A Level subject from the collection of related subjects in that sector.

This means that you will be studying subjects that perfectly complement each other, helping you to gain the knowledge and skills for a successful career in the sector you choose.

Things to consider when choosing a career pathway to study

When choosing a pathway to study it might be useful to think about the following areas:

Your Interests

What are your ambitions? What are your strengths? What do you enjoy and like learning about?

Research

Look at the information on our Pathways to help you make an informed choice about your course of study.

Previous Experience

How might any volunteering or work experience you've already got help you to achieve your targets?

Career Path

You might not have thought about it but it’s important to consider your progression plans when deciding on your subject choices. Consider the careers information linked to each of the pathway choices on the website. You will find this in the ‘Where Does This Lead’ section for each A Level course.
