Benefits for learners and parents

Students learning in a classroom

Cambridge Global Perspectives helps you show what you can achieve and get into the college or university that's perfect for you.

Our programmes will challenge you, giving you the chance to explore and make judgements on the global issues that really matter to you. You will learn how to think critically on a variety of subjects and how to research appropriately – skills useful for the other courses you’re studying at school and valued highly by top universities around the world.

What's in it for you?

• The chance to explore the global issues that matter most to you.

• The opportunity to acquire the presentation, collaboration and research skills highly regarded by universities and employers. 

• The freedom to question and to think independently. 

• The chance to express yourself with team projects, independent research and oral presentations. 

• The opportunity to look at other viewpoints and perspectives on a global topic, as well as the time to reflect on your own views. 

By choosing to study Cambridge Global Perspectives, you’re choosing to give yourself the best opportunity to succeed in your other subjects at school, as an undergraduate at university and in your future career. In the competition for university places, the evidence that you’ve challenged yourself with a programme of study developed to prepare you for higher education is something worth having.

Find out more about Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives, Cambridge International A Level Global Perspectives & and Research and Cambridge AICE Diploma.

It’s about real life. You can relate to that everywhere. It’s not about reading a textbook and studying that. It’s about how you see the world and how it’s constantly changing. 

Student, Bangalore International School, India 

The Cambridge Global Perspectives course has honed my writing and research skills. It has also been an enriching and eye-opening experience for me, allowing me to understand current global issues in depth.
