READY FOR UNIVERSITY


Cambridge Lower Secondary, typically for learners aged 11 to 14, starts the educational journey through secondary education and prepares students for Cambridge Upper Secondary. It offers a curriculum that schools can shape around how they want their students to learn and develops young learners who are confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged.


Cambridge Upper Secondary inspires students to love learning, helping them to discover new abilities and a wider world. With a wide range of subjects and flexible ways to offer them, it has two qualification options for Cambridge learners: Cambridge IGCSE™ and Cambridge O Level. Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds, although it can be taken by students of other ages. Taught by schools in 146 countries, it offers 70 subjects to choose from, with each course designed to build core knowledge and develop the creative thinking and problem-solving skills so valued by universities and employers. For students aged 16 to 19, Cambridge International AS & A Levels are ideal preparation for university, higher education and the world of work. They develop a deep subject understanding (with 55 courses available) together with independent learning and constructive thinking skills – abilities which, again, are highly valued, particularly by universities worldwide. Cambridge International AS & A Levels are taught in 134 countries, with over 500,000 subject entries per year.


AN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Every year, nearly a million Cambridge learners from 10,000 schools in 160 countries prepare for their future with an education from Cambridge International. Our worldwide network also offers significant practical advantages in the context of international education, where students and families can be highly mobile. For example, if a student transfers to another Cambridge school – anywhere in the world – they can work towards the same Cambridge

Last but not least, when considering an international education for your child, it is never too early to think about routes from school into higher education, and to assess the real value of the qualifications offered by a school. Cambridge IGCSEs and International AS & A Levels have global recognition and value. Every year, learners use Cambridge International AS & A Levels to gain places at leading universities worldwide including in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, India, Singapore, Egypt, South Africa, The Netherlands, Germany and Spain. All UK universities accept Cambridge International AS & A Levels, and they are formally accepted by over 600 US universities, including all of the ‘Ivy League’ universities. In some places, such as the US and Canada, good grades can equal one full year of university course credit. You can find a database of universities that accept Cambridge qualifications on our website at www.cambridgeinternational.org/recognitionsearch In a recent survey of admissions staff from 130 universities – including UK Russell Group and US Ivy League universities – 98 per cent regarded Cambridge qualifications as excellent preparation for university, helping students to succeed once they had achieved a place. As one US university admissions officer commented, “Cambridge students


are strong in


critical thinking and writing, have a broad base of intellectual knowledge and are intellectually curious.”
