Chemistry IGCSE FAQs
The international GCSE Chemistry is of the same level as a GCSE and is examined by Edexcel, one of the UKs most trusted examination boards. A key difference is that IGCSE Chemistry does not include practical course work, making it convenient for distance learners. The Chemistry International GCSE qualification is accepted as at least the equivalent of GCSE in UK sixth form colleges, FE colleges, universities and other HE institutions.
