Introducing Edexcel IGCSEs

The Edexcel IGCSE are a new qualification that embraces the best practice of O level and GCSE. It also provides students with an international perspective to their studies, and IGCSEs are our most up-to-date qualifications.

All our IGCSEs are 100% externally assessed. This allows schools to offer a GCSE qualification, even if teachers are not coursework specialists.

Some of our IGCSEs contain a coursework option so that centres with the experience and expertise can offer coursework.

Many IGCSEs have a distinct international element. Our specialists have developed subject content to allow teachers to base their work on their own region, where possible, to make it more relevant to their students.

Our IGCSEs, like O levels and GCSEs, have exams that are normally taken at the end of two years' study, with the coursework (where taken) submitted in the second year.

Edexcel IGCSEs are graded in the same way as our GCSEs. Foundation tier papers are targeted at grades C-G and Higher tier papers are targeted at grades A*-D. This allows students of all abilities the opportunity to gain good results.
