All universities are very familiar with A Levels and appreciate the depth that the A Level curriculum provides in preparation for a degree course.
In England and Wales, A Levels are separated into two sections – AS Level in the first year and A2 Level in the second year. Both levels may act as stand-alone qualifications however A2 may only be entered once an AS qualification in the chosen subject has been achieved.
We also offer fast-track 18 month A levels at our Cambridge campus where students will not sit AS exams and progression is determined by internal end of year exams.
GCSEs are generally studied between the ages of 14-16 years as a two-year course. A one year GCSE course, where fewer subjects are studied, is normally attended by students aged 15-16 years. There are core subjects which must be studied such as English, Mathematics and Science with optional subjects chosen by the students themselves.
