  Hi David,
  You need to have IGCSE or equivalent (e.g: O-Level / IB etc.) in order to proceed to A-Level.

      Hi Pink,
      You may proceed with IB. At the same time, please check with the university what is the minimum grade required for the course he wants to study.

My kids are going to international school in Malaysia. Now the school has change fully their syllabus to IB and I don’t like at all. They are not learning much and most of the time do project and some research on their ipad. Once finish their grade 11 do they need to take A level to do medicines. Thank you

  Hi Jasvindar,
  Yes, A-Level or equivalent is required as entry requirement into university. You may enrol them into A-Level after IB.

  Hi Natalie,
  First of all, why would she repeat the O-Level? She would repeat only if she didn’t score well.
  
  For medicine, she can consider to take: English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics.
