Hi IGCSE team,
I would like to know if I can be enrolled for a foundation course at any institute in Australia. I have done IGCSE’s and got 5 C’s. Can I choose the subjects of my own? I want to do bechelors of business administration and MBA in the future. What do you recommend?
Hi Jahangir,
Please check with the institute that you wish to apply, and ask them for their minimum entry requirement. We do not know what is their requirement. 🙂
Hiiii.I am currently doing the Igcse curriculum in my school .I am in grade 10 ,so I am supposed to have my examination from april to June this year.I have a question Do I have to have done Ig’s to do A levels because even if I don’t do the Ig’s ,I will be tested by the school on the same content just without having done the “Ig’s “.Also is it really possible to go to Uni right after Igcse’s , and how many should one atleast take ?
Hi Amura,
You need to complete the IGCSE / any equivalent exams in order to advance to A-Level. There are universities who accept IGCSE as entry requirement. But you have to find out where and which.
Normally universities require at least a foundation / A-Level / equivalent after the IGCSE.
Hello Li Na,
Please check with the A-Level institute if they can accept only 3 O-Level. However, you must also bear in mind that universities and colleges require some core subjects from your O-Level / IGCSE / equivalent.
Hey! I wanted to know do I need AS or A level exams to attend universities in the U.S (how many subjects) and I have heard that you can only have five sessions is that true.

Hi Abeer,
Yes, A-Level is accepted in the US. But please have double confirmation with the universities that you wish to apply for.
What about the five seasons??
