What level 6 courses can I study?
Level 6 courses can be taken in traditional academic subjects at university – such as English, maths and history and the various sciences – as well as more contemporary subjects such as management, marketing and journalism.
Other level 6 courses – such as diplomas and certificates – can be taken at centres for further education or via distance learning. Certain self-taught level 6 courses can be studied online by those who already have an established knowledge or experience in their chosen subject but wish to bolster their portfolio in a specific area.
Level 6 courses are full-time and part-time, and available in numerous vocational subjects such as:
- Construction Site Management
- Social Care
- Transport
- Business Management
What are the entry requirements and how can I take a level 6 course?
The entry requirements for a level 6 course will depend on whether it is a bachelor’s degree or a diploma, certificate or an NVQ. Academic level 6 courses at university will require A-Levels and GCSEs or Highers, whilst certain online courses or short courses might demand simply base knowledge of the given subject. Level 6 courses can also be taken after completing a foundation degree or an HNC at level 5 in the same subject.
What are the benefits of taking a level 6 course?
Level 6 courses will display to any potential employer that you have developed knowledge on the given subject, making it the perfect option for those who wish to specialise in a particular domain. Those who take level 6 courses at university will be able to prove that they have studied long-term and taken their given subject seriously enough to commit years to its study, and those who take a vocational level 6 course can enhance their professional development.
Overall, taking a level 6 course displays that you have what it takes to follow an advanced-level programme, demonstrating your skills in written and verbal communication, commitment, and self-study.
What can I do after a level 6 course?
After taking an academic level 6 course at university, you can progress further into higher education by taking a master’s degree or a PhD, both of which are pathways to becoming an academic or a teacher in your chosen field.
Other level 6 qualifications, such as a certificate, diploma or award, tend to be heavily specialised and can thus be the stepping-stone into the professional domain of your choice.
