 Advanced Level (A Level) examinations are recognised around the world and are generally used as entry exams for students wishing to attend University. The qualification is a General Certificate of Education.
While A-levels are a qualification in their own right, they are often the prerequisite for university-level study as well, though some universities also require applicants to take separate entrance examinations.
Universities in the United Kingdom frequently demand that applicants achieve a minimum set of grades in A-level examinations, or the equivalent in other examination systems, before accepting them
