About A-Level

The CIE A-Level, or the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level is the universal benchmark or the 'gold standard' of Cambridge qualifications. It is recognised and accepted as an entry requirement for the universities in the European Union as well as the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

A Levels are highly specialised subjects where the depth of knowledge acquired by learners surpasses other high school curriculum which in turn demands approximately 360 hours of guided learning per subject over a two years period. Universities in countries, such as USA and Canada, offer university course credit and advanced standing where a good grades in carefully selected subjects results in one year credit of a Bachelor degree. The CIE website at www.recognition.cie.org.uk provides in-depth and up-to-date information as well as details of advanced credit offered on universities that recognise the certificates of AS and A-Level for entry to Undergraduate Programmes.

Students normally undertake three subjects which satisfies the entry requirements for all universities. However, students who possess an outstanding attitude to learning can take four or five subjects.

A-Levels are divided into two years where at the end of the first year the students should complete the Advanced Subsidiary Level (AS Level) examinations followed by the A-Level examinations at the end of year two. The combined results from the AS and A-Level examinations form the final awarded grade (A*-E). Examinations are administered in June or November with results published in August or January.

Typically, entry requirements to UK universities are above three C grades for academic courses. However, renowned universities and/or popular courses will often expect higher grades. For instance, medical schools in UK universities will require grades of AAB but other elite universities will require minimum grades of AAA.
