Introduction

The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) course is developed and awarded by the Cambridge Assessment International Examinations (CAIE, United Kingdom). With over 30 years of credibility, it is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14 to 16-year olds, recognised by leading universities and employers globally with nearly a million learners from 10,000 schools in 160 countries each year.

In Singapore, tertiary institutions like Singapore Management University and the 5 polytechnics recognise the Cambridge IGCSE qualification (equivalent to O-Level qualifications, grade for grade).

PSB Academy is a registered Cambridge international school and IGCSE exam centre for students aged 15 and above. You can take both your lessons and examinations when you enrol with us.​

N-Level graduates have a clear academic progression pathway towards a degree at PSB Academy. You can use your IGCSE qualifications as an entry requirement to progress to the Certificate level, followed by a Diploma, and eventually, a Bachelor’s Degree with one of our university partners.

Alternatively, choose to enrol in our 6-month Foundation Certificates specialising in BusinessScience, or Engineering & Technology. Our Foundation Certificates^ allow you to gain fundamental, discipline-specific knowledge while simultaneously preparing for your IGCSE examinations. This integrated approach ensures you are well-prepared in both your chosen disciplines and the IGCSE subjects of Math and English.​

​PSB Academy does not accept private candidates who apply for private examinations only.​

*Subject to university's approval.
^IGCSE qualification is required for Foundation Certificates’ graduates to progress further to the Certificate level.
