What is Cambridge A Level?

The A Level, also known as the GCE Advanced Level, is a pre-university program that is based on the British education syllabus. It is administered by the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) and aims to prepare students for a university degree. In Malaysia, the A Level course takes 15 to 24 months.

This program is 100% exam based and you will be required to take a minimum of 3 to 4 subjects. You will gain in-depth knowledge on the subjects that you choose and once you pass your A Level, you can head off to university with confidence.

Why Study A Level?

The Cambridge International Examinations is the world’s largest provider of international education programs and qualifications, especially for the CIE GCE A Level program. Around the globe, it enjoys a reputation for academic excellence. It is part of the Cambridge Assessment, a department of the University of Cambridge.

While there are many programs available in Malaysia that aim to help you prepare for university, the A Level has always been one of the most popular. Here’s why:

• It is globally recognized by universities – The A Level is known for its high standards and is recognized by universities in the UK, Australia, Singapore and the United States. 
• A Level resources are readily available – There are plenty of study materials available on the internet such as past year papers and revision questions that will help you to prepare for exams. 
• It lets you keep your options open – Upon the completion of the A Level, you can choose to continue your studies in a wide range of fields. Comparatively, certain pre-university programs will only enable you to continue in the field that you have chosen. Thus, the A Level is a good option if you’re not very sure what degree you want to pursue in university. 
• It gives you in-depth knowledge – As you only take 3 to 4 subjects, you will cover your chosen subjects extensively. 
• Fast Track into a Law Degree – The CIE GCE A Level is the fastest and most sensible route for students intending to pursue a law degree. Students will study two subjects (Business and Law) in a 1.5 years duration, as compared to one and a half to two years in the regular A Levels program.
