The IGCSE Computer Science qualification is an internationally-recognised award that you will study towards during Year 10 and Year 11.

To receive the award, you must sit two exams near to the end of the academic year. Your performance in these exams will be graded and, if you pass, you will receive a certificate with an A*-G grade to show how well you performed.

 

The examinations are written and assessed by a British organisation called Cambridge International
