universities in UK which accept IGCSE

Hi every one,
I'm a IGCSE student in turkey and I want to apply for a good university in UK with my IGCSE.
Is there any university which accept IGCSE?
Thanks for your helps.:smile::blush:

I think all universities accept IGCSEs as acceptable alternatives to GCSEs but you need A levels - or equivalent - to get into university.
All of them
I'm a UK student and I do some IGCSE's - so all universities

All Universities will accept IGCSEs as an alternative to GCSEs but obviously you need the required A Levels (or equivalent) which is much more important.

Yes you can. I do IGCSE maths and Science and I am planning on studying in a university in the UK.
The I stands for international -> so I presume many/all? areas will accept them as a good qualification.
They are thought to be harder than normal GCSE's thus UK will accept them.

They ALL accept IGCSE qualifications but in addition to IGCSE/GCSE results you will also need A levels or equivalent qualifications to get into a UK university.

In fact, they're considered far better than ordinary GCSEs because they're for complete idiots


You're not going to make many friends on TSR if you continue to talk in that manner...

So cute. It's only the truth, kiddo.


Looking through your posts, have you seriously joined TSR just to (unfairly) put people down? That's pretty low.
