Hi,
I am a student from Slovakia currently studying A levels here in UK. Next year I'll be applying to uni (Physics at Oxford is hopefully my first choice, I'll see when I get my AS results) here. The problem is I studied in Slovakia for the first 9 years of my education and there we really don't have GCSE equivalents, just end-of-year reports. Can I get to a uni from here through the UCAS process with my A level results only? Obviously, I can supply my Slovak results, but I'm not sure they would be recognised here.
Thanks for all replies.

You will need to provide your Slovak results, but not taking GCSEs won't be a problem.

Thanks. How about English language requirements? Is my grade from Slovakia from last year (A) enough? -

IELTS are not cheap and you still to learn how the exams works - which takes time.

You would need to check with the unis directly, but if you're studying A Levels in the UK currently that might be sufficient. Even if it isn't, you'll probably not find passing IELTS (or similar) a problem.
