1-Year A-levels
Standard GCE A-levels programmes are two years long and completed in in F.6 and F.7 (Year 12-13) in the UK. The 1-Year A-levels is an intensive version of that and is designed to provide a second chance to tackle public exams for students who have completed secondary school education. Some British students would take the 1-Year A-levels, to re-take their A-levels and get better grades. For Hong Kong students, it’s a chance to tackle another widely-recognized public exam. If students have the ambitions and believe that they’re capable of getting into one of the world’s finest universities (such as Oxbridge, LSE and alike) or one of the highly competitive subjects (such as Medicine, Actuarial Science, Law, etc), then the 1-Year A-levels programme will be a good option to consider!
1-Year A-levels programmes are usually run by independent colleges, in which students will normally only study English and three A-level subjects. As these programmes are usually designed to enable high-achiving students to achieve more, many of them come with extra support for Oxbridge and medical school application, as well as interview training, to enhance students’ chances of getting in some of the most competive universities and courses.
