We specialise in A-Level, which is also referred to as A2 (which consists of AS and A2). Note that students take AS Level examinations in their junior year (and may continue A2 in the senior year). Students on the 18-month programme take AS and A2 examinations together (as a linear programme). This is our market niche. Most students take 4 subjects at AS and (and many will continue 3 or 4 subjects) at A2.

Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Economics, History, English Literature, Accounting, Geography, Marine Science (all available at AS and A2).

Universities require a minimum of 3 subjects. We start students on 4 and monitor their progress.

• The 24-month programme starts in July and consists of 4 semesters
• The 18-month programme starts in January and consists of 3 semesters
• The 18-month programmes suit “fast track” students
• The 24-month programme is more popular, usually using the SPM/IGCSE results as an entry benchmark
• 18-month students can be admitted on TRIAL SPM exam results, but not on school forecast

AS is half of the A2 grade marked as a^, b^, c^, d^, e^ or U, while A2 is the full subject grade marked as A*, A, B, C, D, E and U.

The KYUEM structure requires AS and A2 to be taken together at the same time for 18-month students. If AS examinations are taken in November and A2 in June, students tend to neglect their A2 lessons. The “linear programme” run at KYUEM has been very successful. Students on the 24-month programme sit for the AS examinations at the end of their first year and the A2 papers at the end of their programme.
