About Cambridge A Levels

Cambridge Assessment International Education AS and A Levels are internationally benchmarked qualifications providing exceptional preparation for the commencement of university education.

Delivered at Cosmos International College, The Advanced Level is the ‘gold standard’ of Cambridge International Examination qualifications. Students receive a qualification equivalent to that granted in the UK, and which is accepted universally as an entry requirement for universities, including those in Nepal.

Studying for the A Levels qualification is rigorous and demands a high academic standard of achievement. At BMC we offer highly flexible subject combinations and students can choose from a wide choice of subjects - that suit their interest and aptitude.

The A Levels programme demands a multi-dimensional approach, which includes providing evidence of in-depth subject knowledge and understanding; developing an ability to think logically; presenting reasoned explanations; applying theoretical knowledge; and communicating ideas and feelings in a clear and logical manner.
