At the age of 16, British children take General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations.
Students then transfer to studying A-Levels which last for two years and qualify them for entry to university.
Students tend to specialise in these courses and often study for three or four A-Levels.

If you left school with qualifications other than A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate, you may need to take a Foundation course.
A Foundation year gives you important focused skills that UK students receive during their A-Levels and often includes English Language tuition.
