International qualifications
Whatever system you're being educated in, Cambridge requires top grades in the highest level qualifications available for school students. If you wish to apply for an undergraduate place here, you need to be in the top one or two per cent of your year group, and doing very well in the subject area you would like to study.
Typical offer levels for a range of qualifications - including the European Baccalaureate and International Baccalaureate - can be found in the main entrance requirements section.
