Are you looking to take an IGCSE, A & AS Level or O-Level? University of Cambridge International Exams (CIE) provides exams in over 150 countries across the world.
The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is one of the most recognised qualifications around the world. IGCSE courses are renowned for developing vital educational skills, including recall of knowledge, oral skills, problem solving, initiative, team work and investigative skills. The resulting qualification provides a foundation for higher level courses, such as A and AS Levels, the Advanced International Certificate of Education, the North American Advanced Placement programme and the International Baccalaureate.
IGCSE caters for different levels of ability with a choice between core and extended papers in many subjects, The core curriculum is based on an overview of the subject and is suitable for students expected to achieve grades C and G. The extended curriculum is more challenging and designed for students who are expected to achieve grades A to C. Grades achieved through either route have the same value.
IGCSE offers a flexible course of study that gives candidates the freedom to choose subjects that are right for them, whilst providing them with a broad knowledge base and lifelong skills.
CIE is pleased to announce a new Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language syllabus for first examination in 2011. The new English as a Second Language 0511 syllabus is an alternative to English as a Second Language 0510 and includes a count-in oral component worth 15% of the total marks. In all other elements, the content of the syllabus is the same as English as a Second Language 0510.
So now you can choose: either a syllabus with an oral component that contributes to the overall grade (0511), or one with a separately endorsed oral (0510).
The English as a Second Language (count-in oral) 0511 syllabus for examination in 2011 is available on the CIE website and Teacher Support website.
A & AS exams are gold standard qualifications that have been available from Cambridge for over 50 years. An A-level is an Advanced level GCE qualification. This exam is normally taken after two years of A-level study, after you have taken your IGCSE exams. You can take any number of A-levels; this will often depend on the qualifications that your chosen institution has asked for. In the UK, many college student take three or four A-levels for their final two years of study.
Good A-level results can give you access to undergraduate studies at some of the best higher education learning institutions in the world. A-level qualifications can also give you access to professional and vocational courses.
You can take an A-level if you have a IGCSE qualification (usually in the same subject that you want to study at A-level; however, some A-levels are not available as IGCSE subjects, such as theatre studies, psychology and politics).
We also run a well established programme of training events in co-operation with CIE, Cambridge ESOL . These provide teachers of English as a Second or Foreign Language with the knowledge and skills needed to help students perform well in their CIE and Cambridge ESOL exams.
More information about CIE and the qualifications they offer is available on CIE website.
