Additional/specialist learning

This means you can take another subject that will allow you to specialise in a particular area, depending on whether you want to get a job or go on to do further study.  For example, depending  on the level that you are at with the diploma, you may choose to do a GCSE in economics or an A Level in Law, or languages, or maybe another unit from another diploma.  You may also be able to do another qualification in an area of interest or something you enjoy, like drama or sport for example.
