International student - no equivalent GCSE/A-levels

[Laura T]

Hi guys, just a question for international students who have applied for VC/TC. How did you fill out the secondary education section? I am a Dutch student and our high school education system does not have an equivalent of GCSE/A-levels. In fact, we have a single final examination during and at the end of the 6th year of high school. Thanks!

I would just fill it in as best you can - put your subject grades as they were graded in your country, and usually there’s an option where you can select ‘Other’ when it asks you to choose what type of secondary qualification it was (eg, A or O levels). There’s also usually a section where you can explain your education, so I’d just include a brief summary explaining how your subjects were graded (eg, 1 - 90%, 2 - 80% and so on).

hope this helps.
