Thousands of students around the world are able to gain places at leading universities every year with Cambridge International AS & A Levels. The syllabuses develop a deep understanding, critical thinking skills and independent research projects that prepare you for your future career goals

Cambridge International AS Level examinations are usually taken at age 17 and Cambridge International A Level examinations at age 18, though Cambridge does not set any specific age requirements.

If candidates have already taken Cambridge IGCSEs or O Levels, then they will find many of the skills they have already learnt relevant and beneficial to Cambridge International A Level study.

Learners can choose from a range of assessment options. Some subjects can be started as a Cambridge International AS Level and extended to a Cambridge International A Level. Examinations are held in June and November each year with results issued in August and January respectively.

applying knowledge and understanding to new as well as familiar situations
handling and evaluating different types of information source
