After IGCSEs – What Next?<br />
1) Study for the <strong>IB</strong> Diploma – students who have the <strong>IB</strong> Diploma have a<br />
much greater choice about where to go to university. Our <strong>IB</strong> graduates<br />
have gone on to study in the UK, USA, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore,<br />
India, and many other countries.<br />
2) In 2016, the Thai government announced that students with only IGCSEs<br />
could not join Thai universities. This is because the level of study is not<br />
high enough. Therefore, a pre-university course such as <strong>IB</strong> is ideal as it is<br />
academically more challenging than IGCSE and also better prepares<br />
students for university life.<br />
How to enter <strong>IB</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
To start studying for the <strong>IB</strong> Diploma, students need to have 5 or more<br />
IGCSEs (grade A*-C). This must include at least a C at IGCSE English<br />
and Mathematics. Students who do not pass IGCSE English or<br />
Mathematics subjects may start the <strong>IB</strong> Diploma (if they have 5 or more<br />
passes) but will be required to re-take the relevant IGCSE during <strong>IB</strong>1.<br />
To start studying for <strong>IB</strong> Courses, students need to have 3 or more<br />
IGCSEs (grade A*-C).<br />
