Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular qualification for 14 to 16-year-olds, and Internationella Engelska Skolan is an accredited Cambridge Associate. This means IES students can choose to study for and take the Cambridge IGCSE exams (International General Certificate of Secondary Education).
“I am delighted to see growing interest in international qualifications across our schools. It is encouraging that our students are choosing the academic rigour of the Cambridge IGCSE, which not only requires deeper subject knowledge but also strengthens essential skills such as critical thinking and English language proficiency. By expanding this offering to more IES schools, we are ensuring that more students can achieve this globally recognised qualification, opening doors for their future both academically and professionally,” says Frederik Granström, Cambridge manager at IES.
Cambridge International Education is part of the University of Cambridge and works with more than 10,000 schools in 160 countries, which offer its programmes and exams. Currently, IES is the largest Cambridge provider in Sweden. IES students are also amongst those who achieve the best results internationally when it comes to taking the Cambridge IGCSE exam in English as a second language.
The Cambridge IGCSE is trusted and recognised around the world and can create opportunities for studies and a career abroad. Some students are looking for an extra challenge, others want to open as many doors as possible to studying and working internationally, and a third group wants to improve their English language skills.
