EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE UK
In the last two years of secondary education, which are called Year 10
and Year 11, starting at age 14, students prepare for GCSE exams that
are taken after two years (General Certificate of Secondary Education).
In the UK school system, during the GCSE programme, students study
between 9 and 12 subjects. Some of them are compulsory (English,
Math, 2/3 Sciences, History/Geography, a Modern Language etc.),
some are chosen by each student according to their abilities and
preferences. At the end of the 2 year GCSE programme, following the
examinations on each studied subject, students receive their GCSE
Certificates.
The chosen subjects and the GCSE results are very important for their
Further Studies (A-Level or IB) and for their University admission.

A level study
In the UK school system, once a student reaches the age of 16, they can start a 2 year programme which leads to A (Advanced) level examinations. Students specialise
in 3 or 4 subjects, that are usually relevant to the degree subject they wish to follow at university. A levels are state examinations and are recognised by all UK
universities and by institutions worldwide.
At the end of Year 13, following the examinations in each subject, the students receive A level Certificates.
International Baccalaureate (IB)
Those who would like to study more than 3-4 subjects, may continue their studies in a broader number of subjects with the International Baccaularete Diploma
Programme, offered by some independent schools.
During the IB, students study 6 subjects, 3 at higher level (HL) and 3 at standard level (SL). Each school offers different subjects at different study levels (HL/SL). The
IB programme also includes a compulsory Core programme consisting of Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Extended Essay (EE) and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS).
Students take written examinations on each subject at the end of their courses.
