Background
Cambridge International Education has begun releasing results for its June 2026 exam series to students across the world. Nearly 368,000 students from 3,492 schools received their results today for the Cambridge International AS & A Levels, which saw a 5% increase in entries over the previous year.
Cambridge International AS & A Levels are recognized by more than 2,500 universities worldwide, and according to the organization, they help students develop their critical thinking, academic knowledge, and problem-solving skills. Acceptance of the qualification has expanded beyond traditional destinations such as the UK, the US, Canada and Australia, with universities in a growing number of countries now welcoming Cambridge learners.
Rod Smith, Group Managing Director for International Education at Cambridge, congratulated students receiving results and said rising numbers reflect growing recognition of the value Cambridge qualifications offer in a world shaped by AI. He added that he expects the qualifications to matter even more in coming years.
New UCAS data shows that 98% of Cambridge International A Level students who applied to UK universities in the 2025 cycle received at least one offer. Kevin Ebenezer, Director of University Pathways and Progression at Cambridge, said the qualification prepares students to succeed at university, not just gain admission, and noted that Cambridge learners make up approximately one in eight foreign students enrolll in UK universities.
The Cambridge International Project Qualification also saw a 68% rise in entries this June. Meanwhile, regional conflict in parts of the Middle East forced nearly 30,000 students to use an alternative assessment method after school closures prevented them from sitting exams safely. Cambridge IGCSE and O Level results are due later this month.
