Can You Attend University In The Us After Completing Your O Levels

How can I start my university education right after O'Levels?

As ever, the Quora question is without context, which I find a continuing disappointment and a disincentive to respond. Sucker that i am, i will attempt to reason with the question.O levels were a British test until replaced by GCSEs. That suggests that the questioner is British and left education before GCSEs were introduced. Further, to ask this question at all, the questioner has no O levels, so left school at 16.If those deductions are valid, then we’re answering to an older British individual looking to undertake some university study. In which case we might assume this is a Brit wanting to stay in Britain. So go have a look at the Open University and see what you might be eligible for. It remains likely that you’d need an A-level somewhere in advance of starting, but that is not necessarily so.Next, ‘university education’ could be education at university or it could be simply doing university level stuff. There is nothing stopping you from doing study at any level on your own. Quite a few of the better schools in Britain provide what turns out to be university level content while in the Sixth Form.Last from me, and agreeing with an earlier respondent, if you switch countries after O level or its equivalent, then the situation can change strongly in your favour. Age tends to be a lifting factor - at 16 it is hard for a university to accept a student, however wonderful. For some universities, whatever equates to O level exceeds ‘graduation’ from high school, just as a collection of A-levels goes way past that.However, it remains probable that, whatever it is that you want to study at university, some study between the O-level equivalent and the undergraduate targeted course is a sensible action. Breadth before depth.

Which US universities/colleges can I apply to with an "O Level" or "A Level" Certificate?

It is my understanding that the”O” Level program is being phase out.* Anyway, the “A”Level program is similar to the USA “AP” Program.*However, countries notably like India have continued with this program.Nevertheless, it seems to me that if what you intend to do or have gotten an A-level certificate, and have done well, any college here would be open to looking at your records.If you have an O-level certificate, then your options are mid-level schools, unless you have earned outstanding achievement awards.A2A

How can I apply for 11th grade in the USA after completing O Level/IGCSE?

Hi there.Please note that once you’ve successfully completed your IGCSE/O levels then you’ve already completed year 11 so you don’t need to repeat it again.Your next step would be the start of your 12th grade and a school leaving certificate program such as A levels, IB or a foundation program to get into an undergraduate program but again, I would strongly emphasize on A levels even though it’s challenging but you get advantages such as scholarships, advanced credits, sharper thinking skills & much more than you’d expect.I hope my answer helped.

Can we apply for foreign universities after our O levels?

Yes, you can! I’m British, and I have a friend going to UCLA (Los Angeles). However foreign universities are widely seen as more competitive, plus entry requirements and course structure is all extremely different, so be careful with that one.

Can I start my University study in Canada after my O level study and without my A level study?

No, you will need some A-levels for universities in Canada. Requirements vary, so just pick a school and check what they want. UBC, for example:GENERAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS (United Kingdom [same requirements as British-patterned education])Graduation from a university-preparatory program at a senior secondary school: Standing in at least five academic subject areas, including English, with at least three UBC-approved academic A Levels (or six at the Advanced Subsidiary Level). A subject may not be counted at both the A Level and the GCSE Level (O Level). A Level and AS Level courses that are not sufficiently academic in content (as determined by UBC) cannot be used.Admission average calculated on final year academic courses/exams: Your admission average is calculated on at least two GCSEs (O Levels) and three GCE A Levels (or six Advanced Subsidiary Levels).International High Schools UBC Admission Requirements | UBC Undergraduate Programs and AdmissionsO-Levels are approximately like Grade 10+ or 11 here, which is short of a High School Diploma. On the other hand, A-Levels exceed the Grade 12 level in many cases. So there is not a direct line-for-line match.There might be some colleges (2-year programs) that will accept only O-levels.

Can you go straight to university after taking an O Level exam that you took in Singapore?

I was offered a place at Boston University for an MBA after my O levels. However, I did have a Trinity College (London) Performer’s Diploma in Music that they must have recognised as the equivalent of a University degree.Strangely enough, I applied for a BA position in Business Administration - not sure why they offered me an MBA position.

Which universities can I apply to with the IGCSE O-levels without taking the A-levels?

No legitimate universities, probably.The AS and A Levels are the official school leaving qualifications necessary for admittance into higher education. Without them you will usually not be able to go to university. Some universities may ask for a different number of A Levels and/or AS Level qualifications, however the current absolute norm is to appear for a minimum of 3 full A Levels.IGCSEs and O Levels are what precede the A Level and prepares students for it. English and Mathematics are the two stressed subjects at this level. Usually the qualifications obtained from both programmes will be used to grant admission into university. However, many universities offer conditional offers contingent on receiving particular A Level grades, therefore predicted A Level grades also play a role in admission.

Do American universities accept IGCSE?

Yes, they do. Some universities will accept you with only IGCSEs or O levels, so that means you will need 5 grades with a C or higher (5 passes) to meet the entry requirements and some will require you to have studied further by completing A Levels or BTEC in addition to your IGCSEs. Basically, it just depends on the entry requirements of the university you apply to. All this means that you can go straight into a university without having to transfer from a community college or you can still join a community college and transfer to a university, it’s all dependent on your choice.Cambridge has a recognition database which you can use to find out some of the colleges and universities that accept IGCSEs as meeting their entry requirements:Search Recognitions | CIE Search RecognitionsI don’t think the database has the full list of universities that accept IGCSEs but in case you want to know specific information about the entry requirements of a certain university, you could just contact them directly and enquire.Long story short, IGCSEs or O levels are sufficient for entry into American universities.I hope this was helpful :).

Is A-level study different than O-levels?

GCSEs and O levels are the same thing. What was used to be called O levels are now called GCSEs. GCSEs are taken at age 15/16 in the UK. While A levels are taken age 16-18. Both are a two year course. A levels are taught and taken in the last 2 years of high school while GCSEs are taught in the first in the 2/3 years before A levels start. A levels are harder than GCSEs. GCSEs are compulsory for 16 year olds, especially if you want to leave school at 16 and get a job. You need to get a C grade or higher in maths and english language in order to get a job or to get into a sixth form colleges. I think job-wise you need 5 GCSEs grade in between the passing range of A*-C. So for example if you got 6 A*s in GCSE but got a D in maths you would still need to re-take your maths exam.Students normally take around 10 GCSEs.A levels are taken after GCSEs and you start preparing for them the year after your GCSEs. People who take A levels normally want to go to university  or another form of higher education after, but you can still go out and get a job afterwards if you want. A levels are not compulsory unlike GCSEs. The full A level is comprised of 2 parts. In the past you take part 1 which is known as A.S (advanced subsidiary) at the end of the first year of A levels. It is normal to take 4 A.S subjects. At the end of year one you drop a subject and continue with 3 of the subjects which you later complete for the full A level.So by the time you finish you will have 3 A levels and 1 A.S (half an a level).This now has changed that you have to take all your exams at the end of the 2 year course.It is common to think that A levels are the only post-GCSE qualification you can get before going to university there are other options, such as IB and BTEC qualifications depending on what you want to do in the future.
