What is IGCSE used for?
The IGCSE, which stands for International General Certificate of Secondary Education, is a globally recognized qualification typically taken by students aged 14 to 16, usually in Years 10 and 11. It serves as a foundation for further academic study, such as A Levels or the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), and is accepted by universities worldwide. The IGCSE covers a broad range of subjects, encouraging both depth and breadth in learning. Most students take 8 to 10 subjects over the two-year course, with assessments based on a mix of coursework and final exams depending on the subject and exam board.
