How did you decide which Cambridge International AS & A Level subjects to study?

I come from a business family and have always been interested in numbers and being an entrepreneur. Technology and coding is an imperative skill in today’s world, which is why I chose Mathematics and Economics, along with Physics, as my International A Level subjects. I wanted to gain the skills and knowledge I needed to excel in both my chosen fields of study at university, Business and Computer Science.

In addition, while studying for my Cambridge IGCSEs, I saw the practical approach that Cambridge subjects offer and this made me fall in love with the curriculum and influenced my decision to study International A Levels.

How did your Cambridge qualifications support your university application, and prepare you for life as an undergraduate?

Studying for my Cambridge International A Levels was the best decision of my life. The qualifications not only made it easier to meet the university’s application requirements, but also gave my personal profile an edge.

My Cambridge Interational A Level studies also made my first year at university a cakewalk – I was already aware of the syllabus and my professors’ expectations when writing answers. My Cambridge studies also helped me to develop an analytical and practical learning mindset which is imperative for further academic study.

What are your future career plans?

I am looking forward to entering the field of finance which is quite diverse. In particular, I have a keen interest in equity research and trading which both involve financial and coding skills.

Would you recommend Cambridge qualifications to other students who want to go to university?

I would totally recommend Cambridge qualifications, as the curriculum is well designed to help students excel at university.
