    • Hello Mahmoud,

      You may register as a private candidate. As a private candidate, your local British Council is the best place to sit for your exams. You will need to register for your examination either with your local British Council or any registered Cambridge schools that accept private candidate. You can find the list of registered Cambridge schools here: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/i-want-to/find-a-cambridge-school/

      If you have further questions, please feel free to leave us a comment.

  2. Can I take 4 subjects for IGCSE exam? The requirements for the diploma in interior design is 3 credits to relavant subjects and a pass in English. So is it okay if I take only 4 subjects?

    • Hello Aisha,

      Universities and/or bachelor programs’ entry requirements are usually based on subjects taken, not the amount of subjects. As long as you take the required subjects, you don’t have to worry.

      First, we strongly suggest that you check with the university (or any higher qualification than diploma for your future study) on the required subjects at higher education level.

      Second, write to the diploma in interior design college/institution, and get their confirmation on the required subjects. You will get 100% confirmation and can make better decision in subjects selection.
