Cambridge International AS Level is typically a one-year programme of study, while Cambridge International A Level typically takes two years. Assessment takes place at the end of each programme.  \nMost subjects can be started as a Cambridge International AS Level and extended to a Cambridge International A Level. The syllabuses are international in outlook but retain local relevance. They have been created specifically for an international student body with content to suit a wide variety of schools and avoid cultural bias. The contexts or examples used in syllabuses and exam question papers are culturally sensitive in an international context.  \nOffered since 1951, these qualifications are administered by Cambridge Assessment International Education, a part of the University of Cambridge.  \nWho takes Cambridge International AS & A Levels?  \nAimed at 16–19 year old students before university study, Cambridge International AS & A Levels are taken by over 175 000 students in more than 125 countries every year. In the UK these are taken in years 12 and 13 of the secondary school curriculum.  \nWhy choose Cambridge International AS & A Levels?  \nDevelop unique skills  \nThe qualifications aim to develop students’ knowledge, understanding and skills through:  \n• in-depth subject content  \n• learning to work independently  \n• applying knowledge and understanding to new as well as familiar situations  \n• handling and evaluating different types of information sources  \n• thinking logically and presenting ordered and coherent arguments and explanations  \n• studying and communicating in English.  \nFlexible subject choices  \nA wide choice of over 50 subjects is available and schools have the freedom to offer them in almost any combination. There are no compulsory subjects and students are free to specialise or study a range of subjects.  \nGiving students the power to choose helps to motivate them throughout their studies. Students typically study four subjects at AS Level and three subjects at A Level. The standard admission requirement for UK universities is three A Levels.  \n\n| Cambridge International AS & A Level subject groups |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| English | Mathematics | Science |\n| Languages | Humanities | Technology |\n| Social Sciences | The Arts | General Studies |\n\n Students we have who have taken Cambridge International A Levels do very well at our campus. They are very well-prepared for our curriculum and we find that they have a lot of confidence, but also that they have a good, deep subject knowledge, [and] the ability to think critically and well.   \nStuart Schmill, Dean of Admissions, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA  \nGlobal Perspectives & Research  \nA pioneering skills-based qualification, Global Perspectives & Research (GPR), has been added to complement the existing suite of Cambridge International A Levels. GPR uses a crosscurricular approach to learning the skills needed for success in higher education and at work. By studying global issues, students explore different and often opposing perspectives to develop their ability to deconstruct, reconstruct and reflect on how this impacts their own perspectives. The programme of study is comprised of a taught skills course in the first year and in the second year, a year-long research report called the Cambridge Research Report. The Research Report promotes the application and development of the skills taught in Global Perspectives and helps prepare students to cope with the demands of university study.
