ANSWER: Dear Mariama,
Please could you give me more information?
Do you want to study at university?
If so which A-levels do you have?
Is your English fluent? I mean do you have a certificate like IELTS or TOEFL to show your English level?
Have you learnt any Icelandic at all?
University courses are generally taught in Icelandic. So, you would have to come to Iceland, spend at least a year learning Icelandic and then apply for a degree course.
Of course, you also have to consider whether you can get a visa.

QUESTION: Yer I have already got my A level but I would like to come and repeat my A level in Iceland so I will understand the language properly therefore I am applying for A level course could you please advice the procedures I speak fluent English
Answer Dear Mariama,
Well, A-levels are a qualification in England and Wales. In Iceland there are school leaving exams but they are different.
You should first learn some Icelandic from a book. Then, come to Iceland and do a course to learn the Icelandic language.
You will not be able to study mathematics in Iceland or take an Icelandic mathematics exam if you don't speak any Icelandic!
