A-Levels
Why CHOOSE A-LEVELS?
The A levels are initially a UK qualification and have been introduced worldwide, aimed at students aged 17 and 18 in their last two years of schooling. A-levels provide a basis for the selection of University entrants in the UK as well as a qualification for students entering the job market.
The A level system is different from other pre-University qualifications, such as IB, in that it has no compulsory components; students are free to study whichever subjects they choose. This allows SCIE students to have greater potential when discovering their true interests and talents.
The A-level qualification has been in existence for over 50 years, and, as such, it is recognized all over the world as a rigorous qualification that can be trusted.
All A levels are split into two components: AS (comprising 50% of the A level and generally completed in the A1 year) and A2 (comprising the other 50% and generally completed in the A2 year).
Students may choose to continue with each subject for two years and gain a full A level or drop after A1 with an AS level. An AS level is a qualification on its own
right and can be an essential asset when applying to Universities.
A-level Subjects
SCIE students can choose four to five of following courses as their AS level subjects. The selection of subject is very important for student’s future studying and university application.
