Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level (IAL)

From here to the world's leading universities

We are an affiliated Pearson Edexcel International School, affiliation number 94883, authorised to offer Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level (IAL) qualifications in accordance with Pearson's academic and examination regulations.

Pearson is the largest awarding organisation in the UK. Pearson Edexcel offers qualifications that are internationally recognised and closely aligned with the British education system. With over 3.4 million learners studying Pearson qualifications worldwide, Pearson supports more than 6,500 schools, colleges, and employers globally, and marks millions of examination scripts annually. Pearson Edexcel qualifications are regulated by Ofqual (UK).

Pearson Edexcel International qualifications are developed by the same expert subject teams that design the UK-regulated qualifications. This ensures a high level of academic rigour, comparability with UK standards, and alignment with the UK government's intention to raise educational outcomes globally.

Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Levels (IAL)

Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Levels (IAL) are globally recognised qualifications designed for learners aged 16–19 and are accepted by leading universities worldwide. They are available across a wide range of subjects and are benchmarked as comparable to UK AS and A Levels, as confirmed by UK NARIC (now Ecctis), the UK's national agency for international qualifications comparison. Edexcel IAL qualifications form part of iProgress, Pearson Edexcel's complete academic pathway for learners aged 5 to 19 in international schools.

Assessment Structure and Examination Series

Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Levels follow a modular assessment structure.

Modular Assessment:

Each subject is divided into units, and learners are assessed at the end of each unit. Unit results can be combined to achieve the full International Advanced Level qualification. This modular structure provides flexibility, allowing learners to take examinations when they are ready and to spread assessments across multiple examination series.

Edexcel IAL examinations are typically offered in January, May/June, and October, subject to Pearson's annual examination timetable and subject availability.

Grading System

Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Levels are graded on the A–E grading scale*, with the final grade awarded based on the combination of unit results.

Science Subjects

For Edexcel International Advanced Level sciences (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), there is no compulsory hands-on practical examination or practical endorsement. Practical skills are assessed through written examination papers, which evaluate learners' understanding of experimental techniques, practical procedures, data handling, and scientific analysis.

Study Modes

Learners may pursue Edexcel IAL either full-time or part-time.

Full-time learners typically study any three of the following subjects:

Subject Code Subject Name
WPH1 Physics
WBI1 Biology
WCH1 Chemistry
WMA1 Mathematics
WEN01 English Language B

Part-time learners may opt to study one or more subjects while continuing their education at a physical school or registering as a private candidate. Subject offerings may be added or withdrawn based on Pearson Edexcel updates and learner demand.

Important Notes

A minimum cohort of 10 learners is required to offer a subject. If enrolment falls below this number, learners may be requested to consider an alternative subject.

Examination series and subject availability are subject to annual updates from Pearson Edexcel, and not all subjects are available in every examination series.

The school follows Pearson-approved course books and workbooks for all subjects.
