Cambridge local Examinations Syndicate and the University of London result in qualifications which are recognised by universities in most countries as entrance qualifications. For example, many universities demand passes in five subjects (two at Advanced level) or four subjects (three at Advanced level). Many of the leading professional institutes require their students to have "university entrance" qualifications. Students decide which subjects they intend to pass at 'A' level. In making this choice students are well advised to take into account the wishes of their employer, or the requirements of the career they intend to follow, or the entry qualifications of the university or professional institute that they wish to enter. The following subjects are available from the College. Certain subjects are more relevant than others in making a particular choice and the College has arranged the subjects to give students the benefit of their experience: University of London: Recommended for a career in science: Recommended for social studies: University of Cambridge: Recommended for a career in science: Recommended for social studies: * Practical work is compulsory Entrance qualifications: The College strongly recommends that a candidate for an 'A' level subject has already obtained an 'O' level pass in that subject. | |||||||||||||||||||
