International General Certificate of Secondary Education (International GCSE) from Switzerland and UK
The International GCSE is an international high school diploma for children aged 14 and up who aspire to study abroad at top, globally recognized universities, especially in the U.K and Europe. Some universities in the world can accept International GCSE immediately if students have outstanding achievements. However, most of the world’s top universities require a higher degree than IGCSE to enter the first year of university, such as A Level, PreU Diploma, or Level 3 Diploma. So, after graduating from the IGCSE International High School, students need to learn more to get the PreU/Level 3 Diploma (from 16 years old) to have the maximum chance of getting into top universities.
The PreUniversity of Switzerland (PUS) system links the International GCSE high school curriculum with a diploma system connected with the British competency framework. Students will get two internationally recognized high school certificates from SIMI Switzerland and SIMI UK upon completion.
When Europe applies the competency framework EQF (European Qualification Framework), the International GCSE diploma is recognized at the Level 2 Diploma level.
