How to use this website
Welcome to our website www.Pre-U.info which aims to give information to help students and parents decide on the Pre-U v A Levels or the International Baccalaureate. We can also help parents choose a Pre-U Independent School or College in England, Wales and Scotland.
The Pre U is a new post-16 qualification which aims to prepare students more effectively for future University studies and is being introduced into UK private schools and sixth form colleges from September 2008. It is expected to provide Universities with a means of differentiation from the current mass of A grade A Level students by offering a more rigorous and stretching academic program evaluated on a series of higher grades. The Pre-U Diploma has been developed by University of Cambridge International Examinations.
We keep our website navigation extremely simple. Click on the above boxes to find detailed information on the Pre-U and schools which offer it. In the “What is the Pre-U” section we describe the structure of the Pre-U Diploma. Students study a minimum of three Pre-U subjects, complete an Independent Research Report and a Global Perspectives portfolio to gain the Pre-U Diploma. In the section on “ How to choose a Pre-U school”, there is a free downloadable eGuide which includes our “Top 10 tips for choosing a Pre-U independent school” plus a 30 point questionnaire for you to use on your visits to private schools.
Most students will need to decide between the Pre-U syllabuses and A levels. Within section “Pre-U or A levels” you may apply for a free eGuide, which gives you detailed advice and a step by step process to help you come to your decision. In the “Expert Assistance” section you may apply for an individual consultation with one of our experienced education consultants to discuss your personal circumstances or for help in finding a Pre-U school or college.
In the “Find a school” section we will list all independent or public schools and colleges known to be offering the Pre-U. Finally in the “News” section, we will publish regular articles to keep you up to date with developments relating to the Pre-U.
www.Pre-U.info is owned and operated by Education Advisers Limited, which specialises in advice to parents and students on choice of independent schools and colleges. You may find out more about us by going to:
