IGCSE Coordinated Science
Double-award science qualification covering biology, chemistry, and physics with greater depth than combined science.
IGCSE Coordinated Science is a double-award qualification providing comprehensive coverage of all three sciences. It offers more depth than Combined Science while maintaining an integrated approach, making it excellent preparation for A-Level sciences.
Why IGCSE Coordinated Science Matters
IGCSE and GCSE grades are usually what sixth forms and IB or A Level programs look at when deciding whether you can take a subject further.
Grades: Cambridge IGCSE A*–G (9–1 in England only); Pearson Edexcel International GCSE and UK GCSE 9–1.
Papers, tiers and coursework differ by board and by subject, so lessons follow your own specification: tell us your board and syllabus code on the intro call.
