Cambridge A level Mathematics provides in-depth and advanced mathematical knowledge while teaching independent thinking and problem-solving skills. Students opting for Mathematics learn to analyze problems logically and present various situations mathematically. Successful candidates acquire a range of logical and coherent mathematical skills, particularly those which will enable them to use applications of mathematics in the context of everyday situations and of other subjects they may be studying. The curriculum ranges over different areas of mathematics including geometry, trigonometry, and vectors in great detail. Alongside these, a detailed analysis of functions, quadratic equations, and circular measures provides a logical understanding of situations. Calculus, logarithms, and series allow students to observe the scientific element of mathematical applications spreading over various real-life situations.

Chemistry is often referred to as the "Central Science" because it helps to connect physical sciences, like math and physics, with applied sciences like biology, medicine, and engineering. Breakthroughs in fields such as genetics, biochemistry, medicine, materials science, forensics, nanotechnology, drug discovery, the environment, and next-generation computer hardware are all driven by chemistry. Chemistry helps in developing research, problem-solving, and analytical skills. It helps students to challenge ideas and shows them how to work things out through logic and step-by-step reasoning. Chemistry is a great choice of subject for people who want a career in health and clinical professions, such as medicine, nursing, biochemistry, dentistry, or forensic science. It will also equip you for a career in the industry, for example, in the petrochemical or pharmaceutical industry. Chemistry opens doors to many career opportunities because chemists are essential for many positions in the industry that are highly desirable for science teaching and suit careers in public service and management. Both the public and the private sectors increasingly draw their higher management strata from chemistry graduates. Students who pick chemistry often also study a wide range of subjects, including psychology, sociology, biology, science in society, physics, applied science, health & social care, critical thinking, and environmental studies.

Physics is the fundamentals of science and plays an important role in all the natural sciences. Physics can be defined as the science of matter, motion, and energy. The ultimate aim of the learner in physics is to find a string of laws that are reliable, self-sufficient, and connected at some level. Physics reveals the mathematical beauty in the universe at scales ranging from subatomic to cosmological levels. Studying physics strengthens quantitative reasoning and problem-solving skills that are important in areas beyond physics. Physics students are prepared to work on innovative ideas in science and technology, academia, the government, and the private sector. Careers might focus on basic research in astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, atomic physics, photonics, etc. The CAIE A Level Physics curriculum prepares individuals for any field because it teaches students how to analyze complex problems and provides them with a strong mathematical background that can be applied to any technical field.

An accountant’s primary role is to produce data that help companies make important decisions. Without accountants, it would be impossible for businesses to measure performance, and the decision-making process would be about as accurate as a stab in the dark. Where there is business, there is accounting. You can’t have one without the other, and it’s no surprise that with business on the rise, accounting as a career field has been increasing with it. Increased government regulation has also meant a growth in the number of accounting staff in each company to ensure compliance with new regulations. There are loads of different fields available to students who pursue an accounting degree, such as internal auditing, cost accounting, forensic accounting, management accounting – the list goes on. With a degree in accounting, the available pathways are far and wide.

Business and related subjects (such as the ‘FAME’ group – finance, accounting, management, and economics) are among the most popular fields of study at universities worldwide, particularly at the graduate level. Business graduates are in high demand worldwide, business touches on many aspects of modern human society, and careers with a business degree are diverse and often highly paid. Business graduates go on to work in different sectors, and not all of them are those who would typically associate with business in general. More obvious careers with a business degree include roles in accounting and finance departments, which take in large numbers of business degree graduates. Other sectors with high demand for business graduates include marketing and advertising, retail, sales, human resources, and business consultancy. The diversity of careers with a business degree underlies the subject’s appeal for many students who can further use their background in business to pursue roles within SMEs (small- to medium-sized enterprises), innovative new start-ups, charities, non-profit organizations, NGOs, and when a bright idea teams up with the knowledge to back it up, one may even consider launching their own business.

Sociology is the study of groups and aspects of individual lives affected by social interaction. Sociology identifies humans as animals and identifies group expectations as the source of our behavior. Sociologists would argue that humans lack behavioral understanding, much less the behavior patterns in families, corporations, and nations, without developing a quality of mind termed "The Sociological Imagination." Sociology can provide foundational knowledge about social interactions, organizations, and society to pursue careers and a good life. Sociology also can help us prepare for specific fields by studying particular sectors of society (discussed below) and by sharpening skills needed to be effective in business and public, such as analytic thinking and problem-solving, information gathering and interpretation, and report writing. Sociology is unique in its recognition of society's impact on shaping individuals and vice versa. This latter process is present in all social constructs and all human groups. However, it is especially central to democracy, where citizens are expected to participate in shaping their society. Indeed, without an informed and active citizenry, democracy withers and dies. Whether it's the prospects for marriage, the safety of our neighborhoods, the likelihood of success in an occupation, or the future of our planet, these outcomes depend as much on world-historical changes taking place in society as on issues of ability and character at the individual level. The faculty at ALPHA provides students with the tools of the sociological imagination and introduces them to the process that develops sociological theories and applications in social constructs.
