Cambridge International A-levels (Advanced Level)
In Year 12 and 13, students prepare to take the Cambridge International A-Levels which is conferred under the General Certificate of Education in the United Kingdom. The Cambridge International A-Level (Advanced Level) is a subject-based qualification conferred as part of the General Certificate of Education, as well as a secondary school completion qualification offered by established examination boards in the United Kingdom. With more than 55 subject choices available to choose from, the Cambridge International A-Level is considered to be the 'Gold Standard' in education.

The Cambridge International A-Levels generally take two years to complete. Students normally take three to four A-Level subjects in their first year, and most cut back to three in their second year as university offers are usually based on three A-Level subjects. Unlike other level three qualifications such as the International Baccalaureate, the A-Level curriculum has no specific subject requirements, so students will have the opportunity to take any combination of subjects. However, most students will pick their subjects based on the degree they wish to pursue in university as most courses require specific A-Level subjects for admission.
Students can use the Cambridge International A-Levels to apply to universities globally and pick their subjects based on the degree they wish to pursue in university. Universities generally will grant offers based on the grades achieved at the International A-Level exams.
