A-LEVEL COURSES
It is not uncommon for some international students to consider applying to a British university, in which case they would be required to sit the Advanced Level (GCE) exams, popularly known as the A-levels. Advanced Placement, although less rigorous, is the nearest equivalent to the A-level, which is regarded as roughly equivalent in standard to courses taken in freshman year at a US college. A good passing grade at A-level will normally merit college credit and therefore permits exemption from a college course.
Students who choose to continue their education in the UK will need to qualify for entrance to a British University. For those who have not achieved a sufficiently high standard of qualification in their home country, examination in two or three A-level subjects is normally required. The A-level is the usual qualification required for entry to a British university, with passing grades in two subjects being the minimum requirement. Oxford Tutorial College offers A-level courses in a variety of academic subjects, the most popular being:
| Accounting | History |
| Biology | History of Art |
| Business Studies | Law |
| Chemistry | Mathematics |
| Computing | Media Studies |
| Economics | Physics |
| English | Politics |
| French | Psychology |
| Geography | Sociology |
| German | Spanish |
