Browse Cambridge IGCSE and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE courses available on EduNinja. Choose your exam board and subject, then check any available Core or Extended route against your school's syllabus.

Choose your IGCSE syllabus and study route

A useful study plan starts with the correct qualification. Match your exam board, subject and syllabus or specification before choosing a topic to practise.

IGCSE subjects: Cambridge and Edexcel course entriesCambridge IGCSE and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE have their own syllabuses and specifications. Use the awarding body, full qualification title and syllabus or specification code shown by your school. A subject name alone does not identify the required scope or assessment route.
IGCSE Core vs Extended: select a route where it appliesSome Cambridge IGCSE subjects offer Core and Extended. Extended includes the Core curriculum and the Supplement, which can add content or depth. This distinction does not apply to every IGCSE subject or exam board. Choose a route only where it is available in the directory, and confirm it against your school's exam entry.
IGCSE syllabus: confirm the specification and exam yearFor Cambridge, check the syllabus for your examination year. For Pearson Edexcel, check the specification and the qualification, unit or paper codes used by your school. Do not assume that all official assessment options are represented on EduNinja or that similarly named GCSE and International GCSE courses use the same requirements. Pearson offers linear and modular assessment options for many International GCSE subjects. Check the qualification and unit or paper codes used by your school rather than treating these as one interchangeable set of papers.
Choose a subject overview or go directly to your courseUse the exam-board overview to browse its supported subjects. Open a subject name when you need to compare its available routes, or use a level link to enter a course you have already confirmed. A subject without a published level choice opens directly; the directory only shows branches that are configured.
IGCSE study resources: practise against the exact syllabusChoose one unit, topic or knowledge point in your course map. Use Diagnostic to help find weak topics and Practice to work on the corresponding syllabus range. Review the explanation and the step that caused an error, then try another task. When signed in, use the mastery shown on the Course page to decide what to study next, with available Notes, Question Bank and Documents as supporting resources.

Questions about IGCSE courses and levels

Does every IGCSE subject have Core and Extended?

No. This choice applies to some Cambridge IGCSE subjects. Other subjects and specifications use different structures; select only a route that matches your actual syllabus and school entry.

Are Cambridge IGCSE and Edexcel International GCSE interchangeable?

They may cover similar ideas, but they are separate qualifications with their own specifications and assessment requirements. Choose the exam board and course used by your school.

Why do some subjects open directly without a level selector?

EduNinja displays a choice where multiple course branches are configured. A direct course entry does not mean the platform supports every official assessment option; check the course identity.

Does the IGCSE course list cover every official subject?

No. It shows the subjects and routes currently configured on EduNinja. Check the awarding body's official catalogue and your school's offerings for other options.

Can I practise with questions from an older syllabus?

Only after checking that the content and task still match your current syllabus and route. An unchanged concept may remain useful for practice, while an older complete paper may have different content or assessment requirements.
