Cambridge International Certificate of Education (ICE)

[FAHMEED]

Cambridge ICE is the group award of the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and requires the study of subjects drawn from the five different IGCSE subject groups. It gives schools the opportunity to benefit from offering a broad and balanced curriculum by recognising the achievements of students who pass examinations in at least seven subjects, including two languages, and one subject from each of the other subject groups.

The Cambridge ICE Curriculum:
The Cambridge portfolio of IGCSE qualifications provides a solid foundation for higher level courses such as GCE AS and A Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma as well as excellent preparation for employment.
A wide range of IGCSE subjects is available and these are grouped into five curriculum areas, as follows:
Group I: Languages
Group II: Humanities and Social Sciences
Group III: Sciences
Group IV: Mathematics
Group V: Creative, Technical and Vocational

 

[FAHMEED]

Selection from five curriculum areas:
Candidates hoping to gain the Cambridge ICE group award must enter and sit for at least seven subjects selected from the five IGCSE curriculum areas. The subjects selected must include two (different) languages from Group I (i.e. only one of First Language English and English as a Second Language may count towards Cambridge ICE) and one subject from each of Groups II, III, IV and V. The seventh subject can be taken from any of the five subject groups.

Cambridge ICE-counting subjects:
With our permission, subjects taken at GCE Ordinary Level may be counted towards Cambridge ICE certification. Such substitution will not be permitted if the proposed substitute subject is available as an IGCSE subject in the same session. Each such non-IGCSE subject will be assigned, by Cambridge, to a subject group and will become an adopted IGCSE subject as far as the Cambridge ICE is concerned. No candidate who has taken fewer than six IGCSE subjects will be awarded an ICE certificate. Cambridge Customer Services are able to provide guidance as to which O Levels can count towards the Cambridge ICE certificate.
