Gateway College is proud to offer the largest and most comprehensive selection of educational choices - enabling parents and students to choose the best education programme for academic growth and success. The range of subjects offered at Advanced Level Science, Business and Humanities sectors include Mathematics, Further Maths, Pure Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business Studies, Accounts, Applied ICT, English Language & Literature and Psychology. They have been arranged in a way where even uncommon combinations of subjects can be taken to suit students' future careers. Gateway strongly encourages the students who wish to pursue demanding careers such as Medicine and Engineering to study four AL subjects.

Students also have the option of taking 3 Advanced Level subjects along with a Diploma and thereby fast tracking their Degree studies. Through this arrangement, they are also able to keep their options open until they complete the two years of study at Advanced Level where they could even opt for a different career to what they were planning at the commencement of their Advanced Level studies.
An additional International Foundation Programme is available for students who wish to join after Sri Lankan or London OL. It is a 9 month course, offering an accelerated learning pathway from O/L to university degree entry. The programme in addition to raising students' English and Mathematics skills will also provide a firm grounding in Business and Computing along with study skills, personal development and culture.
