What to expect
The British Council makes it easy to study A-levels. We help more than two million people take international exams every year.
Here are some things you should know about AS- and A-levels.
THE COURSE
Students usually complete A-levels in two years. In the first year, you study the first half of the A-level, which is called the AS-level. In the second year, you study the A2-level. Your combined result from both years is your A-level grade.
A-levels are assessed by a mixture of practical coursework and exams in both years (AS and A2).
CHOOSING SUBJECTS
There are many different A-level subjects to choose from, although availability varies by country, exam board and school.
UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS
UK universities typically require students to pass three subjects at A-level, but you should check the entry requirements of the universities that you are considering.
EXAM BOARDS
We work with Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) to deliver A-levels. If your school or college has a preferred exam board, you may not need to choose.
