Foreign Credential Evaluations (in general)
Q: Can those who have obtained the International A Level qualification, which is primarily offered at international schools, be considered eligible for university admission?
A: Those who have obtained the International A Level qualification or the International AS & A Level are considered eligible for university admission.
As of June 2024, four organizations offer the International A Level qualification (Oxford AQA, Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, and Learning Resource Network (LRN)), and all of the qualifications offered by these organizations are recognized as eligible for university admission. Please note, however, that AS Level qualifications alone are not recognized as eligible for university admission.
