IGCSE in a nutshell What is IGCSE equivalent to? Is IGCSE recognised by universities in Thailand? Where can I access IGCSE? There are approximately 44 international schools that offer IGCSE e.g.<\/p>\n Bangkok Patana School<\/p>\n Bangkok Prep International School<\/p>\n Brighton College Bangkok<\/p>\n Denla British School<\/p>\n Harrow International School Bangkok<\/p>\n King\u2019s College International School Bangkok<\/p>\n Regent\u2019s International School Bangkok<\/p>\n Shrewsbury International School<\/p>\n St. Andrews International School Bangkok<\/p>\n Wellington College International School Bangkok<\/p>\n IGCSE exams in Thailand are provided by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), EdExcel, Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA) <\/strong>and Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR)<\/strong>. Students of international schools that follow the IGCSE curriculum can register through their schools. While other students can register for examinations at the exam boards mentioned above.<\/p>\n Which subjects do I choose, is there a minimum?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n IGCSE students are given the autonomy<\/strong> to choose the subjects they want to study, and this is one of the reasons that make IGCSE students standout from the crowd \u2014 they\u2019re specialised.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n All Thai students are required to study a compulsory core of Thai, English, and Math<\/strong> along with other optional subjects. <\/strong>There is a minimum number of 5 subjects required with no restriction on the maximum number of subjects. Students who are studying in international schools usually take 8-9 subjects to keep the options open. However, students can choose to study just 5 subjects which is the minimum requirement for universities.<\/p>\n Students are strongly advised to choose the subjects that suit their interests and career goals. This is the part where they take a closer look at their likes and dislikes, what they\u2019re good at and what they\u2019re not. It is a good opportunity to explore themselves at such a young age.<\/p>\n What are my options? Students are able to choose whether they\u2019d like to take the exams in Core or Extended Levels. There are several subjects that offer both levels with the majority being in the Sciences category i.e. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, ESL<\/p>\n Students who study IGCSE are encouraged to be responsible for designing their own future depending on their talents, aptitude, and the vision of their future career. IGCSE offers over 70 subjects within 5 categories to choose from. Please see this link for full detail ibit.ly\/KgKV<\/a><\/p>\n How does the Grading system work? Now, Let\u2019s get started!

<\/strong>The International General Certificate of Secondary Education or IGCSE<\/strong> is a world-leading international curriculum for students of age 14-16 years old worldwide. It has been modified and adapted to serve the purpose of being internationally justifiable and meeting the local requirements. The IGCSE curriculum is based upon its precursor GCSE<\/strong> \u2014 the British Secondary Education system. In 1988, IGCSE was developed by Cambridge International Examination to provide a worldwide access to the British qualification with the same standard as GCSE but with international recognition.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>IGCSE is equivalent to O-Level, GCSE, Year 11<\/strong>, or Mathayom 4.<\/strong> The curriculum\u2019s duration is for 2 years, after that, students need to proceed to AS or A-Level<\/strong>, International Baccalaureate (IB) or the equivalence of Mathayom 6 to meet university requirements.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Most top tier universities in Thailand such as Chulalongkorn University, Thammasat University, Mahidol University, Srinakharinwirot University recognise IGCSE as a reliable record of attainment.<\/strong> Every university defines its own entry requirements, albeit it usually includes 5 IGCSE subjects and<\/u><\/em> 3 AS or<\/u><\/em> A-Level <\/strong>subjects with grades above C.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/strong>A number of international schools in Thailand have adopted IGCSE curriculum, teaching in the British system and acting as the venue for the exams.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Students would find themselves making quite a few decisions when studying IGCSE. Not only can students choose their course of studies, they can also choose to not be graded through coursework but rather be tested through exam-based assessments only<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Don\u2019t underestimate the challenge you\u2019ll have to bear while studying IGCSE. The IGCSE is graded from A* to G.\u00a0 However, students are required to obtain a minimum of C <\/strong>for the compulsory subjects<\/strong> to be qualified for AS or A Levels.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/strong>You would probably have an idea of how the IGCSE system works by now.
When you\u2019re as young as 14, it can be challenging to design your own curriculum or even to explore yourself in the first place. Planning <\/strong>your IGCSE subjects is as important as getting the grades <\/strong>you want to achieve.
