Frequently Asked Questions
What is covered in IGCSE English?
The exact content varies by exam board, but English Language focuses on reading comprehension, analysing unseen texts, and writing skills, including transactional and creative writing. English Literature focuses on close study of set texts across prose, poetry, and drama.
Do universities prefer IGCSE English or GCSE English?
Neither. Universities treat both as equivalent qualifications, and admissions teams are familiar with both. If you're applying to a UK university, either will satisfy English language entry requirements. The grade, rather the qualification type, is what matters.
What is a pass in IGCSE English?
A grade C or above is considered a pass. This is equivalent to a grade 4 or above in GCSE. Some universities or employers may ask for a B (grade 5–6) for courses or roles where strong literacy is essential. Check the specific requirements for any course you're applying to.
