Cambridge ICE is the group award of the International
General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and
requires the study of subjects drawn from the five different
subject groups. It gives schools the opportunity to benefit
from offering a broad and balanced curriculum by recognizing

at least seven subjects, including two languages, and
one subject from each of the other subject groups.
It is awarded at the following three levels:
| Distinction: |

subjects and Grade C or above in two subjects. |
