IGCSE stands for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education. It is a two-year programme leading to externally set, marked and certificated examinations from the University of Cambridge. Any student who takes an IGCSE subject will be gaining a qualification that is recognised globally. They are established qualifications that keep pace with educational developments and trends and so are an ideal foundation for higher level courses such as AS and A Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Students typically sit seven to nine subjects in one session at the end of Year 11.

Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds, attracting over 900 000 subject entries every year from 140 countries.

Cambridge IGCSE helps students to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in subject content and intellectual enquiry. Cambridge IGCSE has been designed for students worldwide, including those whose first language  is not English. We offer students the flexibility to  choose from over 70 subjects at Cambridge IGCSE, meaning they can study the subjects they enjoy and  are best at. Assessment takes place at the end of  the course and offers students a range  of ways to demonstrate their learning, including written, oral, coursework and practical assessments. There are also options to suit learners of different abilities. The grades awarded at Cambridge IGCSE are A*–G, with  A* being the highest.
