AS and A Level

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited.

Approach and Curriculum

Thousands of learners worldwide gain places at leading universities every year with Cambridge International AS & A Levels. The syllabuses develop a deep understanding of subjects and independent thinking skills.

We help schools to build a curriculum that brings success for learners. Our syllabuses prepare learners for university study, which is why universities worldwide value and recognise Cambridge International AS & A Level qualifications.

Cambridge International AS & A Level develops learners’ knowledge, understanding and skills in:

• in-depth subject content

• independent thinking

• applying knowledge and understanding to new as well as familiar situations

• handling and evaluating different types of information source

• thinking logically and presenting ordered and coherent arguments

• making judgements, recommendations and decisions

• presenting reasoned explanations, understanding implications and communicating them logically and clearly

• working and communicating in English.

Cambridge International A Level is typically a two-year course, and Cambridge International AS Level is typically one year.
