Degree at UK university |
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.
