GCE including applied subjects

GCEs (General Certificates of Education), also known as A levels, are usually taken by students aged 16 to 19 after two years’ study, but can be taken at any age. AS (Advanced Subsidiary) is the first half of an A level, and is also a qualification in its own right. A2 is the second half of an A level. 

A new suite of GCEs has been developed for first teaching from September 2008. Find out more about the new GCEs here
