Cambridge Pre-University 10-11 classes (17-18 years old)
Senior Level classes, known also as ‘Pre - University’ can be studied over last two years. Students are typically aged between 16 – 17 years on entry. At our School we offer specific courses covering a wide range of economics, finance and IT related academic disciplines, which students can choose to study in any combination they wish. Pre-University Level also allow students to focus on the subjects that really interest them, which they are passionate about, and which are more closely related to the courses that they want to study at university.

What are the benefits of the programme?
They are the UK’s gold standard for university entry
If it’s your ambition to go to university in the UK, then you should consider taking Pre-university first. Although UK universities do accept other entrance qualifications, the admissions system is geared towards Pre-uniersity. With Cambridge Pre-university levels you do not have to take foundation courses for entry to UK as well as to some international universities in Uzbekistan - you can go straight to your degree.
They are the best route into top universities
Pre-University levels are the preferred entry qualification for many top universities and the best route for students with an excellent academic record who hope to study at one of the UK’s top universities, such as Oxford, Cambridge or other Russell Group institutions. Taking pre-university demonstrates your commitment to securing a place at a UK university.
They are widely recognised internationally
Because the Pre-University standard is widely recognised by prestigious institutions around the world, not just the UK, it is a great choice if you want to choose from the widest range of options later on. Many other qualifications have to be topped up, but Pre-University generally let you skip that stage and smooth the admissions process.
They allow you to specialise
While many other university entrance qualifications focus on a broad education, Pre-University allow you to focus on a few subjects that relate to the course you want to study at university.

Curriculum
We build a curriculum that brings success for learners. Our syllabuses prepare learners for university study, which is why universities worldwide value and recognise Cambridge Pre-University qualifications.
Cambridge Pre-University develops learners’ knowledge, understanding and skills in:
Programme overview
1. Cambridge Pre-University Mathematics
Cambridge Pre-University Mathematics develops a set of transferable skills. These include the skill of working with mathematical information, as well as the ability to think logically and independently, consider accuracy, model situations mathematically, analyse results and reflect on findings.
Learners can apply these skills across a wide range of subjects and these skills equip them well for progression to higher education or directly into employment.
At AS level, teachers can choose from three different routes to Cambridge International AS Level Mathematics: Pure Mathematics only, Pure Mathematics and Mechanics, or Pure Mathematics and Probability & Statistics.
At A Level, teachers can also choose from different routes to Cambridge International A Level Mathematics depending on the choice of applied mathematics (Mechanics and/or Probability and Statistics).
2. Cambridge Pre-University Economics
Students learn how to explain and analyse economic issues and arguments, evaluate economic information, and organise, present and communicate ideas and judgements clearly.
The syllabus covers a range of fundamental economic ideas, including an introduction to the price system and government intervention, international trade and exchange rates, the measurement of employment and inflation, and the causes and consequences of inflation. Students also study the theory of the firm, market failure, macroeconomic theory and policy, and economic growth and development.
3. Cambridge Pre-University Computer Science
The aim of the Cambridge Pre-University Computer Science syllabus is to encourage learners to develop an understanding of the fundamental principles of computer science and how computer programs work in a range of contexts.
Learners will study topics including information representation, communication and Internet technologies, hardware, software development, and relational database modelling. As they progress, learners will develop their computational thinking and use problem solving to develop computer-based solutions using algorithms and programming languages. Studying Cambridge International AS and A Level Computer Science will help learners develop a range of skills such as thinking creatively, analytically, logically and critically.
Collaborative skills are enhanced through participation in a team project. The skills gained through study of this course help students to meet the demands of Twenty-First century learning, preparing the transition to higher education and the world of work.
As part of the course learners write a research report on a research question of their choice.
4. Cambridge Pre-University Business Studies
The syllabus enables students to understand and appreciate the nature and scope of business, and the role it plays in society. It encourages students to examine the process of decision-making in a dynamic and changing business environment and to develop critical understanding of business organisations. They learn about business and its environment, human resource management, marketing, operations management and finance and accounting. At Cambridge International A Level, students also learn how to develop a business strategy.
5. Cambridge Pre-University English
The English syllabus aims to encourage an appreciation of literature in English - prose, poetry and drama - of different types and from different cultures; and to develop the key skills required to read, analyse and communicate effectively in English.
By studying a range of texts, learners understand more about writers' choices of language, form and structure, and develop their ability to form independent opinions about what they read. Learners also improve their understanding of the English language and how it is used, extending their skills across a range of writing styles, including imaginative, discursive and argumentative.
