University

There are national examinations across the UK:

  • GCSEs at age 16
  • A levels at age 18

A university degree normally takes three years, but some courses e.g. medicine, can take four years or more.

The normal procedure for International Students is to spend:

3-9 months Studying English at a language school in the UK. Many of our students study at the Leeds English Language School which has an excellent reputation for results and is accredited by the British Council. www.leedsenglish.com

A Levels


A levels take 2 years to complete and are divided into two parts, AS, the first year qualification and A2, the final year.
Most International Students start with four A level subjects.
A major factor for success at A Level is the study of English Language. International students have English support lessons built into their timetable. There is no additional charge for this service.
