In the United Kingdom (UK), there are many opportunities for students who wish to continue their education after finishing secondary school. Not only British students, but also students from all over the world have been pursuing UK’s higher education qualifications — bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees and doctorates — as they are usually highly appreciated worldwide. In order to prepare for higher education at a university or college, students need to consider academic qualifications such as the A-level or International Baccalaureate (iB) Diploma Programme. The A-level — the General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced Level — is a worldwide secondary school leaving qualification. It requires students to select three or four subjects like mathematics, chemistry, biology, geography, history, etc., which will help them to prepare for higher education. They have to study them over a period of two years and sit for AS and A2 examinations respectively at the end of each year. An alternative to the A-level is the IB Diploma Programme, which provides qualifications in six or seven subjects, among which mathematics, native language and theory of knowledge (TOK) are mandatory. TOK is a two-year subject which aims to broaden students’ understanding of the interactions among different school subjects. This programme is now available in more than 200 state and independent schools and colleges in the UK. Students whose first language is not English need to take an English language test like IELTS (International English Language Testing System) before applying to any higher education courses. As there are two versions of the IELTS - Academic and General Training — students should ask the institution they are applying to which version is required. |
