Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Levels (IAL) are globally recognised qualifications which open doors to top local and international universities worldwide. International A Levels have a modular structure, yet remain comparable to A Levels, as confirmed by NARIC*.

 

Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Levels have been developed in consultation with educators, including teachers and university lecturers, to ensure relevance for international learners and support their progression to universities around the world.

 

They differ from A Levels in that they have a flexible, modular structure, but maintain the rigorous standards of all Pearson Edexcel qualifications and are comparable to the UK A Levels, as confirmed by NARIC. All subjects (except Law and IT) offer January, June and October examination windows, giving students more options when applying to local and international universities.
