PATHWAYS TO PURSUE AFTER N-LEVELS
After completing your N-Levels, you may be considering the next step in your academic journey. With multiple options available, choosing the right pathway can feel overwhelming — but Quill Learning is here to guide you.
At Quill Learning, N-Level graduates can progress towards higher qualifications through globally recognised routes. One option is to pursue the NCC Education International Foundation Diploma (equivalent to IGCSE progression), which prepares you for advanced diploma studies and sets a strong foundation for university pathways.
Upon completion, students can continue into a wide range of diploma programmes offered through Quill Learning in partnership with NCC Education and Informatics Thames College, leading directly to undergraduate degree opportunities with our articulated university partners worldwide.
This structured pathway ensures that N-Level graduates have a clear and credible progression route from secondary education to diplomas and, eventually, to a degree — all supported by Quill Learning’s global academic network.
