Message from the Director Welcome to the Sunway A-Level Programme. For many students, choosing your pre-university programme is an important step in your pursuit of your dreams and goals, and we welcome the opportunity to work with you in this area. Sunway has successfully achieved the proven track record of many decades of offering a quality Cambridge A-Level programme, as exemplified by our students who consistently top the world in the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) awards year after year. This is one of the reasons why Sunway College has been awarded the CIE Fellowship Centre status since 2005, in recognition of our excellent delivery system and the attainment of CIE Top of the World results in examinations conducted worldwide. Just as we are proud of the accolades of our A-Level graduates, we welcome the opportunity to work with new students like you. As you know, preparing for the Cambridge A-Level qualification will be interesting and rewarding as you will attain an internationally recognised qualification for admission into top-tiered universities all over the world. I am pleased to share with you that many of your seniors in our Cambridge A-Level programme have been accepted into premier universities like Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College, London School of Economics, Durham, Harvard, Princeton, Boston, Stanford, Duke, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Monash and the National University of Singapore, just to name a few. And, you will find us interested to work with you along similar or other academic pathways depending on what your goals and ambitions are. Your lecturers and academic mentors will work with you to assist you in your academic work and advise you on how you can benefit from a wide range of learning facilities and support services available at Sunway. It will take two hands to clap, and hence, we look forward to you playing an active part in your own learning by participating whole-heartedly in all curricular and extracurricular programmes organised for you. At Sunway, we encourage you to explore your potential fully. As you commence your Cambridge A-Level studies at Sunway, I would also recommend that you set your goals early in the programme and work out your plan of action which should incorporate good doses of working diligently on your studies, building new friendships (that may last you a lifetime), and managing your time effectively so that you’ll always recall your Pre- University days at Sunway to be one of the best times in your life.

From University of Cambridge International Examinations
Cambridge GCE Advanced-Level Programme Sunway College has been preparing students since 1994 for the General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced-Level qualification through examinations set and assessed by the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). CIE is one of the world’s leading providers of international academic qualifications and is a part of the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES). This renowned body has been developing and promoting its uniquely British system of assessment around the world for almost 150 years. The GCE A-Level qualification places emphasis on in-depth knowledge, deep understanding, strong reasoning abilities and critical thinking. It is arguably the most widely recognised pre-university qualification in the world, readily accepted as proof of superior academic ability for entry into world-class universities around the world. CIE is the world’s largest provider of international educational qualifications with more than 1,100 examination centres across the globe. Fifty-odd such centres are currently operating in Malaysia alone. Any centre which proves its worth through a superior delivery system that produces excellent results in the twice-yearly examinations is accorded the status of a Fellowship Centre. Only 4 centres in Malaysia have attained this elite status and Sunway is one of them! University of Cambridge International Fellowship Centre The Fellowship Centre status awarded by CIE to our A-Level programme in 2005 is a clear recognition of our excellent delivery system and ensuing top-notch results on a world stage. We have a consistent track record of outstanding academic performance and a string of international awards won by our students. In the June 2009 CIE Examinations, our overall pass rate was 98.8% with 26% of our students achieving three A-grades or more. In that assessment, our students topped the nation in Accounting, Biology and Law, while in Physics and Psychology, we produced the world’s best! Such sterling performances are nothing new – recipients of CIE Top Student awards have been regularly emerging from within our ranks since 1998. To date, we have made similar forays into Biological Science, Business subjects, Mathematics, General Paper, Chemistry and Economics.
