Dulwich College Beijing (DCB) is excited to announce the introduction of the Cambridge International Advanced Levels (A Levels) pathway, starting in August 2025, alongside its highly-regarded IB Diploma Programme.
A Levels, formally known as Cambridge International Advanced Levels, is a globally recognised pre-university programme renowned for its academic rigor and in-depth exploration. More than 2,350 universities in 90 countries, including over 1,000 institutions in the United States, formally recognise Cambridge A Levels qualifications.
DCB is already well-known for its academically rigorous IB Diploma Programme, which provides students with a broad, well-rounded education that prepares them for success in higher education and beyond. With the introduction of A Levels, DCB continues its tradition of academic excellence by adding a pathway designed for students with specialised talents and a deep passion for specific subjects, allowing them to pursue their interests in greater depth.
The subjects offered in the A Levels pathway at DCB will include Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Economics, Psychology, English, Business, History, Art, and Drama.
The DCB A Levels programme will deliver the depth of subject study characteristic of A Levels while preserving the academic rigour and holistic approach for which DCB is renowned.
Students opting for the A Levels pathway at DCB will typically choose to study 3-4 subjects, based on their intended university courses. Those who take fewer than four A Levels will also need to complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), allowing them to engage deeply with a topic of their choice through a research-based essay, report, or project. To ensure a well-rounded experience, DCB has also outlined six areas of development for A Level students, requiring them to participate in at least one area per term.
This additional pathway at DCB is effectively empowered by the College’s British heritage, its linkage to Dulwich College in London, and commitment to educational excellence. Many of DCB’s teachers have extensive experience in A Level teaching and learning, which will enable a seamless integration of this pathway while upholding the same high-quality standards associated with the College’s IB Diploma Programme.
Dulwich College Beijing is dedicated to expanding opportunities for its students by offering multiple pathways that cater to their individual strengths, passions, and academic goals. The addition of the A Levels programme reflects the College’s commitment to providing personalised education that prepares students to thrive at their chosen universities and in their future careers.
