Cambridge IGCSE is a globally recognized secondary education program that provides students with a flexible curriculum and qualifications for universities and employers worldwide. It stands for International General Certificate of Secondary Education, is typically for students aged 15-16, and offers over 70 subjects across different groups, such as languages, humanities, sciences, and mathematics. Students often take seven to nine subjects and can tailor their studies with core or extended levels to suit their abilities. Today, it’s the world’s most popular international qualification for 14- to 16-year-olds. Not only is it truly international – it gives students more options than any other international qualification. That means more subjects to choose from, more ways to learn and more ways to succeed.
The Cambridge IGCSE curriculum offers a variety of routes for learners with a wide range of abilities, including those whose first language is not English.
We help schools build a programme around their specific needs. Starting from a foundation of core subjects, it is easy to add breadth and cross-curricular perspectives. Encouraging learners to engage with a variety of subjects, and make connections between them, is fundamental to our approach.
For schools, Cambridge IGCSE offers a flexible and stimulating curriculum, supported with excellent resources and training.
For learners, Cambridge IGCSE helps improve performance by developing skills in creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving. It is the perfect springboard to advanced study.
