Hi there, at the end of year 12 (in two years) I am moving to the UK where I need the following things to get into my course:

'5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, including English Language, Mathematics and a Science (single or double award), excluding General Studies and 3 A-Levels at Grades BBC or above.'

The thing is, there is nowhere I know I can study A levels in Australia and I cannot find out if a) VCE is equivalent/lower/higher than A levels and b) what ATAR I would need based off of these requirements? If anyone could tell me that would be awesome!

A levels are incredibly specialized and they're are so much harder then HSC subjects. Many people say that A level subjects are often harder then university courses at times.

Idk but having parents and grandparents and uncles who have sat A-levels I can tell you that they are about equal difficulty as QCE ATAR subjects!!! However for maths we can take methods and specialist mathematics, which is harder than further mathematics, whilst also taking another math so it's practically like >2A-levels already, on top of that we take 6 subjects equivalent tk 6 A-Levels!!!

To clarify I mean 4 A-levels and then the math so around 6 A-level equivalent
