Developing skills. Building success. Accessing universities worldwide.
OxfordAQA offers International GCSEs and A-levels that are recognised worldwide. Our qualifications blend subject knowledge with critical thinking to encourage curiosity, independent thinking, and a deeper understanding of the world.
We share the same values and aspirations as all great schools and teachers. Like you, we’re driven by the desire to bring out the best in every student. We want to help students succeed in their exams, thrive at university and be ready for life.
This mission is something we really do live and breathe. And that’s why we’re proud that many schools see us as their partners, not just their exam board.
Why choose OxfordAQA?
Over 100 years of experience
OxfordAQA is a partnership between Oxford University Press (a department of the University of Oxford) and AQA (the UK’s largest provider of GCSEs and A-levels). Together, we bring over a century of qualifications expertise with a strong understanding of global learners.
Globally recognised qualifications
We benchmark our qualifications to UK standards, and they are accepted by top universities worldwide. These include the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge and all UK Russell Group Universities, the Ivy League in the USA, Australia’s Group of Eight, Hong Kong University and many more globally.
We only ever test subject ability
Why should students who speak English as a second language, and live outside the UK, be at a disadvantage when they take international exams? At OxfordAQA, we only ever test subject ability, not language skills or cultural knowledge – giving every student the best chance to show what they can do.
