Cambridge International Advanced Level (A Level)

Globally recognized pre-university qualification for 16 to 19-year-olds.

Cambridge A Level is a pre-university programme marking the end of high school education. Programme is equivalent to the A Level qualification which is taken by students in Year 12 – 13 in the UK to prepare them for further higher education. Learners gain an in-depth understanding of subjects, as well as independent learning and critical thinking skills – abilities that are highly valued by universities.  

CURRICULUM

There are no specifications for the choice of subjects. Learners can study what they enjoy and are good at, taking into account the university requirements (the standard admission requirement for UK universities is based on three A Level courses).

The programme has been designed for students worldwide, including those whose first language is not English.  

Students can choose three or four A Level courses from the following curriculum areas:

      • English language and literature
      • Languages
      • Humanities and Social Sciences
      • Sciences
      • Mathematics
      • Professional and Creative
