  • What’s the difference between IGCSE and GCSE?


    Both IGCSE and GCSE are academically equivalent and accepted by most universities. The key difference is that GCSE is tailored for students in the UK, while the IGCSE is structured for learners around the world. This can influence content for example, Shakespeare is mandatory in GCSE English Literature but optional in IGCSE.

  • Is the IGCSE more challenging than the GCSE?


    The IGCSE was once considered tougher because it focused solely on final exams, unlike the older GCSE model which included coursework. However, since 2017, the GCSE has also moved toward exam-only assessment, making both qualifications comparably rigorous.

    Yes, leading universities globally recognise and accept IGCSE results during the admissions process.

    Russell Group (like Oxford and Cambridge), do not favour one over the other.

    Students typically take five or six IGCSE subjects, with English, Mathematics, and Science being compulsory.
