What is the difference between A-Levels and International A-Levels?

Standard UK A-Levels and International A-Levels are separate qualifications, with International A-Levels designed specifically for international learners. Their syllabuses, assessment structures and examination schedules may differ depending on the exam board and subject. For example, Pearson Edexcel International A-Levels use a modular structure for most subjects, while Pearson Edexcel GCE A-Levels are linear. Cambridge International offers its own assessment routes, so students should always prepare according to their specific syllabus and exam board. Both qualifications can be used for university applications, although applicants should check the exact entry requirements of their chosen institution.
