We believe that the IGCSE courses delivered at BISW are excellent preparation for the academic demands of The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and the combination of these two programs offers an excellent well-rounded educational platform for entry into competitive colleges and universities worldwide. IGCSE qualifications are part of a student’s qualifications portfolio when applying for university entrance. In other cases, they are widely used as preparation for International Baccalaureate, A-levels in the UK, and Advanced Placement courses in the US.
