YEARS 12 & 13: AS & A LEVELS 

Queen’s Qatar proudly opened its Sixth Form in September 2026, providing students in Qatar with an ambitious, supportive environment in which to thrive academically, personally and socially. 

Our Sixth Form prepares students for AS and A Level examinations and entry to leading universities worldwide. Students refine their passions, develop independence and take confident next steps towards their future. 

At the heart of the Sixth Form experience is personalised guidance, expert teaching and a rich programme of enrichment opportunities.

WHAT ARE AS & A LEVELS?

AS and A Levels form a rigorous, internationally respected two-year pathway for students in Years 12 and 13.

Students typically focus on three or four subject disciplines, exploring each in depth while developing the independence, analytical skills and academic confidence needed for higher education.

Alongside academic studies, Queen's Sixth Form students benefit from three important dimensions of the experience:

01

ACADEMIC DEPTH

Focused study enables students to develop deep knowledge and understanding in the subjects that best reflect their strengths, interests and aspirations.

02

PERSONALISED GUIDANCE

A dedicated Careers Advisor works with every student to explore university pathways and career ambitions, including subject selection and university applications.

03

ENRICHMENT & LEADERSHIP

Students can take part in co-curricular, enrichment and leadership opportunities that develop independence, global awareness and character.

Together, these elements prepare students for university, meaningful careers and life beyond education.
