START STUDYING AT IU –
EVEN WITHOUT A HIGH
SCHOOL DIPLOMA
WITH A-LEVELS
IU is the first online university to become an official partner of Cambridge Assessment International Education. With
this partnership, we offer applicants without a high school diploma the chance to earn a diploma equivalent while already
starting their Bachelor’s degree courses.
Unlike other diploma pathway programmes, you won’t have to finish the A-Levels before you start your studies – now, you
can do both.
We’ll provide you with the study materials for the final Cambridge exam you’ll have to pass in order to get your diploma
equivalent and finish your Bachelor’s degree. You’ll have access to all of the degree course materials as well, so you can
work on both things at the same time, at your own pace.
A-LEVELS IN A NUTSHELL
STUDY AT IU 2 STUDY TRACKS
We will provide you with all of the course materials. Depending on the degree you choose, you’ll take
courses in the Tech Track or the Business Track.
