British curriculum schools - university qualifications
Hi everyone
I've got a question for those with experience in British curriculum schools Years 10 to 13.
While I don't know if it's possible nowadays, but back when I was studying here in Dubai, I completed my IGCSE examinations after 10 years of schooling and joined the American University in Dubai. They excepted my IGCSE qualifications and I basically skipped two years of schooling and went right to university. Saved my dad a lot of money and I was ahead of my similar-age peers in the workforce.
Fast forward 22 years to current times, my eldest son will be a Year 10 student next year. At the school I'm considering, students complete their GCSE (or IGCSE, can't recall) examinations at the end of Year 11.
So, if I can save time and money on a year or two for my son's schooling, then I'd definitely opt for that!
Has anyone in recent years considered university options after completing I/GCSE, or had such experience of joining university with these qualifications without having to complete Years 12 and 13? Which universities are now accepting this qualification (I'm considering only local university options)?
Anyone with experience or have heard of someone else's experience on this topic, would really love to hear from you :)
