Cambridge Assessment International Education - A Level
The Cambridge A Level has remained a favourite among many SPM & IGCSE holders for many reasons. One important reason is its GLOBAL RECOGNITION by top universities around the world such as:
- Ivy League universities in the US (e.g. Harvard, MIT, etc.)
- Russell Group universities in the UK (e.g. Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, Imperial, UCL, etc.)
- Group of Eight universities in Australia (e.g. ANU, Melbourne, Sydney, etc.)
Like many, their motivations may not be to get into these top universities but they feel ‘safe’ doing A Level because it is recognized by many universities in Malaysia and overseas. They also feel happy because A Level gives them more choices of universities to choose from.
For the adventurous, A Level opens the door to FREE tertiary education in Germany & you can enroll in an (English-taught) engineering course which is mostly offered by University of Applied Sciences there. It costs about RM50k a year to cover flight tickets & cost of living in Germany. Click for more info: (1) A Level student getting offers & (2) Talk by DAAD on Studying in Germany.
Whichever path you wish to take, speak to us to plan the right combination of A Level subjects.

About Foundation in Business (FIB)
Leveraging on our 20 years of experience in teaching A Level, the college created FIB for the following reasons:
1. A 1-year university foundation to ‘bridge’ students to degree studies in Law, Accounting, & Finance, Management, Marketing, Economics and other social science disciplines (e.g. Psychology, Political Science, etc).
2. A university foundation which gives more options to students, i.e. not only recognised at Crescendo, but more importantly by colleges & universities in Malaysia and overseas.
3. A programme in which students are continuously assessed (i.e. not a one-time final exam) using a mixed mode of progress test, presentation, assignment and a final exam.
Recognition
FIB is recognised by the University of London (UOL) for entry into its degree programmes such as Law, Accounting & Finance, Business & Management, Economics and many others. The University of London degrees are conducted in Recognised Teaching Centres in various cities in Malaysia (e.g. JB, & KL) and around the world (e.g. in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, etc). Find out more about UOL Recognised Teaching Centres here.
The FIB, with its MQA approval, is also recognised by public universities for some of their programmes (e,g, UTM for its International degree programme) and private universities in Malaysia.
