A Levels vs IB – What’s the Difference?

Both Cambridge International A Levels and the International Baccalaureate (IB Diploma Programme) are internationally recognised qualifications.
The key difference lies in structure and focus.

  • Strong academic depth
  • Primarily final examination–based
  • High subject flexibility
  • Well suited for students with clear academic interests
  • Six subjects across disciplines
  • Broader academic distribution
  • Includes extended essay and core components

Both are highly regarded internationally.
In Sweden, IB generally provides direct eligibility, while A Levels are assessed individually and may require additional qualifications.
