iGCSE Courses
The International GCSE (iGCSE) is an internationally recognised qualification which was designed as a secondary school qualification for pupils overseas, but it is now being adopted by an increasing number of schools and colleges in the United Kingdom in preference to the standard GCSE.
iGCSEs are the same qualification level as a standard GCSE and the qualifications are considered by many to be a more rigorous preparation for A-levels. iGCSEs offer progression to 'A' Level, BTEC vocational courses, and other similar qualifications that are recognised internationally and by the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).
iGCSE is offered to students in over 150 countries and is gaining popularity in the UK as a qualification which is preferred to GCSEs by many prestigious independent schools. World-wide over 1.5 million students enter iGCSE exams every year. Over 300 independent schools in the UK now offer iGCSE, and in 2008 there were over 40,000 entries for IGCSE exams.
Overseas students should contact the British Council to confirm that the Edexcel examinations are available.
