8 Education A-level Programs

Cambridge International AS & A Level Global Perspectives and Research prepares learners for positive engagement with our rapidly changing world. Learners broaden their outlook through the critical analysis of – and reflection on – issues of global significance.

Whether you’re aiming to progress to higher education or gain the qualifications you need to enter the workplace, our A-Level courses can help set you up for success in your career. Many of our students go on to enjoy a broad range of opportunities after completing their A-Level courses, typically choosing three or four A-Levels for a two-year study programme. From two years packed full of creative courses and a chance to develop your talents, to fascinating A Level courses in the sciences that will keep you at the cutting edge of technology, our courses offer you the opportunity to develop skills and prepare for further education.

A-level programmes are made up of two halves. The first year is called an AS Level. The second year is called an A2. The two halves make up the final A-level grade.

Business is undoubtedly one of the largest and most important sectors in the world, including management, finance, law, and marketing. Its wide variety of occupations cuts across every single industry, allowing you to specialize your business skills for companies around the world. By studying a career pathway in business, you will be able to learn more about risk-taking, finances, planning, media, and marketing for careers in social media, business management, and entrepreneurship.

This course is ideal for students who wish to study Physical Education (PE) in an academic setting. It equips students with both a depth and breadth of knowledge, understanding and skills relating to scientific, socio-cultural and practical aspects of physical education. The course is separated into 5 different components with 70% of the over grade being achieved from three exams taken at the end of the 2 year programme of study and 30% of the grade achieved from non-examined assessments (NEA). To support academic studies, our sport enrichment programme allows students a chance to train and compete for the college on a weekly basis, with opportunities to compete at a national level. This allows students to place into practice the theoretical principles learnt in the classroom. Additionally, PE and Sport students are provided opportunities to complete work experience both locally and internationally as part of the Turing Scheme.

The A-Level Intensive course is designed to accommodate students who have not attained the result required by their preferred university, have moved to the UK from other countries or had an interrupted education.

All students undertake 6 subjects in each semester. For most of our students, one of these 6 subjects in the second semester is the Research Project. At Stage 1, a few subjects are offered as pairs of units, both of which are seen a prerequisites for Stage 2. Subjects in this category include English, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Maths, Physics, Chemistry and General Mathematics. However, most of the subjects offered at Year 11 are offered as single units. These provide the opportunity for students to try a range of subjects before making a commitment at Year 12.

Our Year 12 students generally undertake 5 subjects at Year 12. Moreover, the Year 12 experience includes a challenging set of mid-year examinations, set in part to prepare students for the final SACE examination or external assessment experience, but also as an important component of the Partner’s Pathway in their own right. For most of the Year 12 subjects, there is a lecture-tutorial system. These sessions are designed to maximise opportunities to learn skills and concepts in an effective manner and at the same time, to extend and refine student knowledge and understanding through discussion, debate and practical activities.
