The Advanced Level, known worldwide as the A-Level, is a qualification offered by the UK’s educational institutions. A-level studies are generally 2 years long and universities in the UK determine whether a student is eligible for undergraduate education accordingly.

Also, the vast majority of students receive A-level education at a private further education college. These institutions also offer broader vocational training. Qualification is the most common method UK universities use to determine if a candidate is a good fit for academic majors.
