Learners have the freedom to take Cambridge International AS Levels as qualifications in their own right, or as part of a progression to Cambridge International A Level. Learners can study for AS Level alongside A Level subjects to increase breadth in the curriculum and to build further knowledge and understanding.
The curricula are flexible. Learners can take almost any combination of 55 subjects. Learners can specialise or study a range of subjects, ensuring breadth.

Cambridge International AS & A Levels are viewed as equivalent to the AS and A Levels taken by learners in the UK, and are accepted for entrance to all UK universities.
In places such as the United States and Canada, good grades in carefully chosen Cambridge International A Level subjects can result in up to one year of university course credit.
Over 500 US universities accept Cambridge International AS & A Levels, including all Ivy League and Ivy Plus universities. These universities include Brown, Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale.
Research carried out* looked at whether Cambridge International AS & A Levels prepared learners for continued studies in colleges and universities in the US, as well as Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate programmes.

Learners receive a separate grade for each subject that he/she takes.
Cambridge International A Levels are graded from A* – E. Candidates who do not obtain enough marks for an E grade at A Level may be awarded a compensatory AS Level.
Cambridge International AS Levels are graded from a to e. Candidates who do not obtain enough marks for grade e at AS Level will be ungraded.
The Cambridge AICE Diploma is a group certificate which requires learners to study subjects drawn from three curriculum areas within AS and A Level: mathematics and science, languages, and arts and humanities.
Learners can choose from a range of assessment options:
Option one
Take the AS Level only. The AS Level syllabus content is half a Cambridge International A Level.
Option two**
Take a ‘staged assessment route’ – take the AS Level in one examination series and complete the final A Level in a subsequent series.
(** The staged assessment route is not possible in all subjects. The outcomes awarded for Cambridge International AS Level language syllabuses cannot be carried forward to Cambridge International A Level.)
Option three
Take all papers of the Cambridge International A Level course in the same examination series, usually at the end of the course.

Hello,
I am from India and I am going to be writing my A level exam during the Feb/March series and I was wondering if we can use gel pen, or are we only allowed to used ball point pens.
Thank you!
Hi there,
Gel pens are discouraged because they are often illegible when scanned. We suggest that you use a black ink pen.
Good luck with your exams!

Hello i finished my IGCSEs and got good marks such as A* in accounts and A in economics and I am current doing AS levels in those subjects plus geography and English language, however i got a C in maths and didn’t take it up for AS level, i would like to study economics or accounts but seemingly most universities want AS level mathematics so am i wasting my time and won’t get accepted no matter how high my grades will be in economics and accounts?
Hello Sakhiwo,
Thank you for writing in.
Mathematics is one of the core subjects when applying to colleges and universities. We would suggest that you take Maths at A Level so you can meet their subject entry requirements.
Furthermore, it is best that you inquire directly to your chosen university as they are the only one who can confirm this part for you.
Thank you.
Hey I am from India , I’ve heard from my teachers that in India you can do commerce with AS and A levels But you can’t do any science degrees with these . To do that do I really have to opt for CBSE , please answer as soon as possible .
If I wish to continue , I have to go abroad to do my sciences , is it true?
Hello Manish,
AS and A Level offer both science and commerce subjects. Please kindly read the article above and find out the subject groups.
If your school does not offer AS/A Level science subjects, you may register as a private candidate with your local British Council. We strongly suggest that you first find out what are the AS/A Level subjects available in your local British Council.
