A two-year course preparing students for higher education in Britain.
The General Certificate of Education - Advanced Level (known as A-level) is the basic entrance qualification for entry to English universities.
Students study two or three subjects in depth over a two year period between the ages of 16 and 19 before going on to university.
Undergraduate degree programmes (BA or BSc) usually last three years and are taken between the ages of 18 and 22 years.
Our two-year A-level programmes are designed to prepare and qualify
international students to enter universities in Britain and study
successfully for their degrees. Since these courses started, twenty
years ago, over 90% of our A-level students have secured university
places.
At King’s School Oxford you will:
You’ll study in tutorial groups of no more than four students and in lecture groups of about sixteen.
Typically you’ll have about 20 - 25 hours per week of coursework (16 hours of tutorials plus lectures, progress tests, counselling sessions, and English language classes) and about 20 hours per week of private study assignments.
You’ll be encouraged to take lecture courses (e.g. European Thought, Science & Technology in Society, Post-war Social History) to broaden your general knowledge.
I.T. and computer techniques are taught across the whole curriculum and you’ll be encouraged to submit word-processed work and to use CD ROMs and the Internet as well as books in your research. There is a computer room at the school for you to use.
We do all teaching in small groups so there is close teacher-student contact. The teachers, all specialists in their subjects, are always willing to make time for you to ask questions and go into more detail. The Director of Studies is in daily contact with students and is always happy to talk to you about your work. We hold progress tests every week and give regular mock examinations and assessments. We issue progress reports twice each term.
There’s no need for you to choose your subjects before you start the
course. During the first term we introduce you to different subjects
and help you move towards the specialization of your choice.
This includes subsidiary subjects, academic English language, study
skills and information technology to help you acquire the learning
habits and cultural background that you will need to compete with
British students at university.
The subjects you study for A-level depend partly on your choice of subject at university. For example, to study Engineering at university, A-level Physics and Mathematics are essential. But for most students the choice is much more flexible. We offer students the choice between Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Computing, Economics, Politics and Geography.
University applications in Britain are handled centrally by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). You apply to up to six universities at the beginning of your final year and you receive offers from these universities in the following months. You must choose the best of these before you take your A-level exams in June. You get your exam results in August.
We’ll guide you step-by-step through the application process; we’ll help you make the best choice of universities and courses and we’ll help you with any problems that arise. Here you can read about a Universities Fair at King's.
King’s is a small college of about 150 students and 30 staff where friendliness is the keynote. There are usually students from over 30 different countries working in an exciting, cosmopolitan atmosphere. It’s easy to make friends and there’s a lively social programme and plenty of opportunities for sports and travel around Britain and abroad.
We pay very close attention to students’ welfare and we have full-time welfare staff to help with any problem you may have. We arrange accommodation with host families who live close to the school and who become your "home from home". The families are in close contact with the welfare officers who visit them regularly.
Accommodation is in a single room with a carefully-selected private family. The fees include part-board during the week and full-board at weekends. You can buy lunch in the college cafeteria during the week for £2 to £3. Accommodation during the holidays can be arranged but is not included in the price.
