A Level Pathways
About These Courses
A Levels are studied by British students who want to go to university.
They are accepted by all UK universities and many international universities too.
Top A Level grades are a prerequisite for entry to Medical School and elite universities like Oxford and Cambridge.
The standard A Level course lasts 2 years. Students choose 4 subjects in the first year (AS Level), then
specialise in three of those in the second year (A2 Level).
Some colleges offer fast-track courses lasting only 12 or 18 months.
However, the A Level curriculum is academically demanding, so the fast-track option is only suitable only for students
who have studied at an advanced level already.
Why Choose This Course
- The Gold Standard of the British education system - accepted as an entry qualification by all universities in the UK.
- Top grades give access to the most competitive courses and the best universities.
- The best option for students who want to study subjects such as Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine.
Entry Requirements
The A Level curriculum is academically demanding and is recommended only for strong students
with a very good level of English.
