Advanced level qualifications (known as A levels)

Advanced level qualifications (known as A levels) are subject-based qualifications that can lead to university, further study, training, or work. You can normally study three or more A levels over two years. They're usually assessed by a series of examinations.

A Levels are a college or sixth form leaving qualification offered in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

There are no required subjects for A Levels. Instead, students are allowed to select the things that most interest them or that they believe will be beneficial to their future studies or jobs. Typically, students study three topics.

• English Language and Literature,

• French,

• Maths,

• Biology,

• Physics,

• Chemistry,

• History,

• Geography,

• Psychology,

• Economics,

• Art,

• Information Technology,

• Modern Foreign Languages such as French, German, and Spanish are among the subjects offered.

It's usually a good idea to check ahead of time to see what courses the institution you're interested in offers, as this varies from school to school.

You should take three A-Levels at a minimum, because that is the standard requirement for all universities, even the very best ones, although you can take up to five A-Levels if you choose.

AS levels and A levels are both level 3, but you study AS levels over 1 year and A levels over 2 years. So you learn more about the subject at A level.

A Level qualifications are by far the most popular and effective route for anyone wanting to go to university. One of the benefits of A Levels is that they can be studied in a range of environments, including schools, sixth form centres, and further education colleges, or through distance learning providers.

Students use International AS & A Levels to gain places at leading universities worldwide including the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Singapore, Egypt, Jordan, South Africa, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain.

There's no age limit to A Levels, providing the entry requirements are met! So it doesn't matter if you're 16 or 79, you can still take your A Level exams.

Some of the most highly paid jobs out there require strong A-Levels. Actuaries, Accountants, Finance Managers, Scientists, and other jobs all require related A-Levels to be employed. Employers like to see strong A-Levels in their employees, as it means they can be trusted to get the job done.
