IGCSE is a high-profile qualification with an excellent reputation. It is recognized by universities and institutes of higher education around the world. The IGCSE is a balanced international curriculum which is designed to encourage high academic standards through a practical approach to teaching and learning. The curriculum consists of a two-year course of study leading to an examination which is typically taken at the end of Grade 10.
