Cambridge builds a curriculum that brings success for learners. The syllabuses prepare learners for university study, which is why universities worldwide value and recognise Cambridge International AS & A Level qualifications.

Cambridge International AS & A Level develops learners’ knowledge, understanding and skills in:

• in-depth subject content
• independent thinking
• applying knowledge and understanding to new as well as familiar situations
• handling and evaluating different types of information source
• thinking logically and presenting ordered and coherent arguments
• making judgements, recommendations and decisions
• presenting reasoned explanations, understanding implications and communicating them logically and clearly
• working and communicating in English.

Cambridge offers a choice of 55 subjects and schools can offer them in almost any combination. This flexibility means schools can build an individualised curriculum, and learners can choose to specialise in a particular subject area or study a range of subjects.

Cambridge International A Level is typically a two-year course, and Cambridge International AS Level is typically one year. Some subjects can be started as a Cambridge International AS Level and extended to a Cambridge International A Level. Find out more about the different assessment options.
