A Levels
The British education system offers students a number of different courses at an advanced standard (most of them vocational) which Universities are now willing to consider as qualifications for admission to undergraduate courses. The syllabus for each A Level subject is divided into 6 modules; the first three are studied in the first year and are slightly easier and allow a student to claim as AS Level grade (that is, the equivalent to half an A Level) at the end of the year. In the second year the syllabus will usually require students to build on and apply the knowledge and skills already acquired as well as developing further topics to a high level. Usually courses are of two years' duration and run from September to June. This allows maximum time to cover the syllabus and to prepare students sufficiently for their examinations.
