The Kings Advanced Level Foundation is based on A-level syllabuses, taught by A-level teachers, assessed against A-levels and moderated by an independent Advisory Board of external examiners. As such, it is one of the most highly academic and successful pathways to leading UK universities.

Kings works with a wide range of university partners. This is because our Advanced Level Foundation is based on, and linked to, A-levels. It is therefore automatically recognised and accepted by the widest choice of universities. Out of the Top 20 universities listed in the Times and Sunday Times 2024 rankings, 17 have accepted Kings Foundation students.
Pearson assured
The Kings Advanced Level Foundation has Pearson assured status, awarded after an annual Pearson audit of quality assurance.
Standards for the Programme are set by an external and independent Advisory Board which meets three times each year to ensure best practice, moderate marks where required and hear appeals.

The programme is highly flexible, and able to adapt to the needs and academic aspirations of each student. It does this through a combination of core modules and a series of elective modules which can be combined in different ways to create main subject streams.
These form the basis of all Advanced Level Foundation pathways.
They give you the vital platform you need to acquire subject specific knowledge.
Choose three subjects from a range of electives.
Like A-levels, subject modules can be combined in any way according to your strengths, interests and degree entry requirements.
We will advise you on the best subject combination for your intended degree.
You can choose combinations which are not 'typical', for example Maths, Art and Physics, but which might be the best path to your specific degree.
Students are assessed at the end of each term and the results of each assessment go towards the final grade:
