-

MORE than just a place to gain qualifications, college can be where young people explore who they are, discover what drives them, and begin to take ownership of their future.
At Gower College Swansea, students are supported, challenged, and inspired to aim higher than they ever thought possible.
Whether it's A Levels, vocational training, or hands-on apprenticeships, the college aims to provide a complete and flexible pathway tailored to students' ambitions and future career goals.
A SUPERB LAUNCHPAD
"For many, our A Level programme becomes a perfect launchpad to top universities, highprofile careers, and a lifelong love of learning," says Kelly Fountain, chief executive officer, Gower College Swansea.
"Our A Level provision is one of the most comprehensive in Wales, offering over 40 subject options, including not just the traditional sciences, maths and humanities, but also modern, in-demand disciplines like law, digital technology, criminology, psychology and economics.
"This breadth allows learners to build personalised combinations that reflect their interests and ambitions - and our flexible timetabling will ensure learners can choose any combination of subjects."
