The world's most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds.
The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is widely recognized as a robust foundation for higher-level study, including the IB Diploma and A-Levels.
Developed by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), the IGCSE curriculum offers a flexible and stimulating course of study. It encourages learner-centered and inquiry-based approaches to learning, developing skills in creative thinking, enquiry, and problem solving.
The Cambridge ICE Certificate requires subjects from these five groups
To cater to students of varying abilities, IGCSE offers a choice between Core and Extended curriculums in many subjects.
Cambridge IGCSE assessment takes place at the end of the course and can include written, oral, coursework and practical assessment. This broadens opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning.
Grades are benchmarked using eight internationally recognized grades, from A* to G, which have clear guidelines to explain the standard of achievement.
The Cambridge ICE is a group award for students who pass at least seven IGCSE subjects. It requires the study of subjects from the five IGCSE curriculum groups:
Candidates must take two different languages from Group 1, and one subject from each of Groups 2, 3, 4 and 5. The seventh subject can be taken from any of the five subject groups.
