One-year GCSE is a popular fast-track programme for international students who are 15 or 16 years old and want to prepare themselves for A-Levels study in the UK. It is an intense yet rewarding programme that allows the students to adapt quickly to the GCE curriculum.
Advantages for Hong Kong students:
– Make up the difference in the academic curriculum between HKDSE and the GCE A-Levels, so students will become more confident in sixth form.
– Allow the students to sit for the 5 or 6 GCSE exams (English and Maths are compulsory), which gives the students the advantage of fulfilling the prerequisite requirement of some UK undergraduate degrees (such as business) in achieving certain GCSE maths grades.
Application to the one-year GCSE programme is usually on a rolling basis; please contact us for a suitable school recommendation for the 2025 September entry.
英國有些私立學校會提供一年的快速GCSE課程,學生一般於一年內修讀五至六個學科,然後於學期尾的時候會考英國GCSE公開試。
根據過往數年的經驗,這個課程能讓香港學生更有信心在A-Level課程中表現得更好,因為它能彌補香港中學DSE課程和英國中學A-Level課程內容上的差別,通過一年的GCSE課程,學生往往能更好掌握英國中學在教程和制度上的底蘊。
英文和數學是課程中必修的學科,而很多英國的大學學科,在申請時也有GCSE數學成績的要求,無疑這個課程更能讓香港的中學生無縫銜接英國的高中和大學讀書。
