Statement of support for Global Perspectives & Research A Level

Students who have challenged themselves with a rigorous curriculum, developed strong critical thinking skills, and experienced interdisciplinary learning in a global context will be poised to make the most of their college experience. The Cambridge Global Perspectives & Research (GPR) curriculum provides an excellent opportunity for students to develop those skills. 

The Cambridge GPR experience not only promotes rigorous curricular content, but also equips students with the independent research, collaborative team work, and twenty-first century knowledge and skills essential to success in college and in today’s interconnected world. The Cambridge International AS & A Level GPR combines in-depth subject-matter study with an interdisciplinary seminar-style curriculum based on issues of global importance in which students engage collaboratively and independently on presentations and research projects. 

The aims of Cambridge Global Perspectives at Cambridge International AS & A Level are: 

  • Engagement with a rigorous college-level curriculum
  • Promotion of a critical, questioning approach to information
  • Development of disciplined and scholarly research skills applied to topics of global relevance.

The statement above was written by members of the Cambridge Assessment International Education’ US Higher Education Advisory Council.
