Carrickfergus Academy offers a wide range of subjects at AS/A2 level (or equivalent), together with a comprehensive enrichment programme, meeting the needs and interests of our pupils and those of higher education and employers. This curriculum, offered in collaboration with the Carrickfergus Learning Community, encompasses traditional ‘A’ level subjects together with vocational courses. Pupils must study three AS/A2 subjects, together with suitable enrichment courses. Students must ensure that they select subjects which provide a diverse, rewarding and relevant course of study but they must equally ensure that their subject combinations will allow them to meet requirements for University or Further Education courses of their choice. Advice on university, FE entrance, or indeed any other aspect of careers, is available through members of our Careers department or UCAS teams.
