Upper Secondary is typically for learners aged 14 to 16 years. The curriculum
provides broad and balanced study across a wide range of subjects, using
learner-centred and enquiry-based approaches to learning. Learners take
internationally recognised Cambridge IGCSE or Cambridge O Level qualifications at
the end of Cambridge Upper Secondary.
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. They 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. This means that Cambridge IGCSE is a great foundation for further
study, including Cambridge International AS & A Level, Cambridge Pre-U, the
International Baccalaureate Diploma and other post-16 routes.
A Cambridge IGCSE qualification is recognised by leading universities around the world and employers view it as a valuable certificate of achievement. In the UK, Cambridge IGCSE is accepted as equivalent to the GCSE. A good grade (grade C or above) in Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language is accepted for entry by a number of universities in the UK as evidence of competence in the English language. Many universities worldwide require a combination of Cambridge IGCSEs and Cambridge International A Levels to meet their entry requirements. Leading US and Canadian universities require Cambridge International AS & A Levels, but some US and Canadian colleges and universities will accept students with five Cambridge IGCSEs at grade C or above.
