INTERNATIONAL GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF GENERAL EDUCATION (IGCSE) examinations; which are normally taken at the age of 16. As well as formal classroom teaching, pupils are encouraged to work independently by being involved in project work. Some subjects include assessment of work throughout the school year although most depend entirely on formal examinations. All exams are marked independently and grades from A* to G can be obtained. A LEVELS allow students to study a smaller number of subjects but in much greater depth. These exams are normally taken at the age of 18. At the end of the first year of the course students take AS Level examinations and at the end of the second year they take A2 exams. As with the IGCSE exams, students have formal teaching as well as project based work. The examinations are also marked independently and are graded from A* to U. British university entrance stipulations generally require students to have passed a minimum of 5 (I)GCSE subjects (to include Mathematics and English), 2 A Levels and an English language examination (normally an IELTS score of 6.5).
