What is the IGCSE qualification?

IGCSE stands for International General Certification of Secondary Education. It is among the most recognised secondary-level qualifications for students aged 14-16. In many countries, IGCSE is a compulsory qualification for international school students. Universities and colleges specifically look for the IGCSE qualification as their entry requirement in higher education.

The origin of IGCSE qualification
IGCSE is an international version of the UK’s secondary-level academic qualification GCSE (General Certification of Secondary Education). The Department of Education introduced GCSE 1986 for students in England, Wales and NorthernIreland.  Before GCSE, pupils undertook the CSE (Certificate of Secondary Education) or the GCE O Level (General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level). In September 1986, GCSE became a national qualification allowing 16-year-olds to pursue further education such as A Level or enter the workforce. 

Today, the IGCSE serves as the global version of the GCSE, offered by esteemed institutions called awarding bodies. These awarding bodies include Cambridge Assessment, Pearson Edexcel, Oxford AQA and a few more. Although there is no significant difference between IGCSE qualifications offered by these different awarding bodies, the core remains consistent and they all have their unique strengths.
