Home > Advanced Higher Grade

 
Advanced Higher Grade, roughly equivalent to England's A-Levels, is the non-compulsory Scottish examination for students aged about 17-18.

It is usually required for students who wish to study at universities outside of Scotland. Universities within Scotland tend to take students with only Higher Grade qualifications.

1 History

Advanced Higher Grade was introduced in 2001 to replace a similar qualification, CSYS (Certificate of Sixth Year Studies), often abbreviated to just SYS. The last CSYS exams were taken by pupils in 2002.
