Do visit the relevant website / look at the for information about how you can take these qualifications and contact the exam board directly with any queries.

If you are planning to take / apply with International A levels that are not set by one of the exam boards listed above, please email us for guidance.

We require three International A-level subjects, which we expect that you will take in the same exam sitting as we also want to see that you are able to manage the workload associated with preparing for all three at the same time.

There is no advantage in the application process to taking additional A level subjects, however it is common for strong applicants taking A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics to choose to do four A level subjects. 

Before choosing which subjects you will take at A level it's essential to read

The Â鶹Éç subject page 
(these have a section on applying with details of any subject requirements/guidance)

When you click on the relevant subject, go to the entry requirements tab and ensure that you read the whole page (the box at the bottom with stats on the profile of recent successful applicants should be very useful in addition to the requirements).

We have a regular webinar for students who are choosing their A level subjects. This is aimed at students aged 14-16 but you are welcome join us even if you are older than that.

You have choices about when you apply. 

You can apply in September and take your International A levels in November or the following June. In this case you would need predicted grades for your International A levels, which your UCAS referee would provide as part of your UCAS application. 

Alternatively, you can take your International A levels first and apply the following September when you know your grades. This is called a post-qualification application.

Please see when to apply and the timing of exams for more detail.

When reading this page, note that in addition to International A levels, in most cases we would normally expect to see: 

> STEP papers II and III if you are applying for Mathematics
See the STEP information on the Maths page. STEP is not needed if you are applying for a subject other than maths.

> an Admissions Test, if this is required for your course at Cambridge (please check the applying information on the relevant subject page and be careful as some written assessments require registration by a deadline in mid-September).

> if English is not your first language, you may need to take an .

In all cases it is essential to read the relevant Â鶹Éç subject page for details.
