IGCSE and A Level: The Solid Foundation for Global Success

At BVIS Hanoi, the IGCSE curriculum offers flexibility with 14 subjects (excluding core subjects) and 260 possible subject combinations, allowing students to tailor their learning journey.

The A Level examinations, administered by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CIE), are the gold standard, recognised in over 160 countries and by 11,000+ global universities, including prestigious institutions such as: Oxford, Ivy League (US), G8 (Australia), and S.K.Y (Korea).

Crucially, A Level graduates are often exempt from university foundation programmes, making them eligible for direct entry into the first year of university and effectively shortening their studies by a year. This competitive advantage makes A Levels the most solid academic pathway for ambitious students aiming for the world's best universities.
