IGCSE Subject Choices at Uplands

Below you will find a brief overview of the subjects that make-up the IGCSE programme at Uplands. As the IGCSE curriculum forms the first two years of the Uplands four year High School Education, we strongly recommend students select subjects that will create a well-rounded portfolio associated with academic success. This will ensure they meet the requirements of the High School Diploma as well as providing a pathway into the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Students may choose to take only some subjects to IGCSE certification and other subjects could be on the non-certification pathway.
