What Is the International A-Level?
The International A-Level is a two-year, subject-based qualification built for study outside the standard English school system, while still being pitched at the same academic level as a domestic A-Level.
Same Standard, Different Delivery
International A-Levels sit alongside the domestic A-Level in academic demand and grading, but are often built with linear, end-of-course assessment and without coursework in many subjects.
Recognised for University Entry
Widely used as an entry route into UK and international universities, generally treated as directly comparable to the domestic A-Level, though individual course requirements can vary.
Who Typically Sits International A-Levels?
Students Overseas
Learners based outside the UK wanting strong international recognition.
Home-Educated Students
Families needing a linear, exam-based specification without ongoing school enrolment.
Private Candidates
Adult learners or career-changers returning to study outside a school setting.

Candidates transferring between an international curriculum and the English system.
