CAMBRIDGE OVERSEAS SCHOOL CERTIFICATE

INTERNATIONAL GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF SECONDARY EDUCATION

AND SIMILAR SCHOOL LEAVING CERTIFICATES

A minimum of five subjects passed at Ordinary Level (Grades A-G / 1-8), including English Language and/or the mother tongue, warrants an evaluation of Grade Eleven.

To obtain an evaluation of a National Senior Certificate (in its most basic form, i.e. excluding Matriculation Exemption), one of the following subject combinations is required:

 

  • Option 1
  • Option 2

A total of four different subjects, including three Ordinary Level / IGCSE subjects graded A to C (or 1 to 6), plus one Advanced Level (grade E).

or

a total of six different subjects, including five Ordinary Level / IGCSE subjects graded A to E (or 1 to 8), plus one Advanced Level (grade E).

A total of five different subjects, including three Ordinary Level / IGCSE subjects graded A to C (or 1 to 6), plus two passes at one of the following levels: Advanced Supplementary (grade E), Higher General Certificate of Secondary Education (HIGCSE) (graded 1-3 ), or recognised equivalent.

or

A total of seven different subjects, including five Ordinary Level / IGCSE subjects graded A to E (or 1 to 8), plus two passes at one of the following levels: Advanced Supplementary (grade E), Higher General Certificate of Secondary Education (graded 1-3 ), or recognised equivalent.

 

Each of the above combinations must include either English Language, or the mother tongue as a first language.

This evaluation will primarily be intended for employment purposes, but may be accepted by tertiary institutions, such as universities of technology and nursing colleges, for purposes of further study according to their own requirements in terms of subjects and grades. Candidates should therefore ascertain the acceptability of such an evaluation to the admitting institution beforehand. University admission for purposes of first degree study is subject to Matriculation Exemption, which is the sole prerogative of the Matriculation Board and not likely to be considered on the basis of the conditions for upgrading as set out above.

Information on lectures for study purposes and arrangements for official examinations may be obtained from education and training providers.
