IGCSE Entry Requirements for Taylor's College Programmes

Taylor’s College IGCSE Entry Requirements

Taylor’s College in Subang Jaya is one of Malaysia’s most respected private colleges, with highly regarded A-Level, Foundation, and Diploma programmes. Many international school students — particularly those from Subang Jaya International School, Sunway International School, and Sri KDU — progress to Taylor’s after IGCSE.

Taylor’s A-Level Programme

Minimum IGCSE requirements (2025–2026):

• At least 5 IGCSE subjects passed at grade C or above
• English (First Language or Second Language) at C or above
• For Science streams: Mathematics at B or above is strongly preferred

Taylor’s A-Level is highly competitive. While the official minimum may state C in maths, students who progress to A-Level Science or A-Level Economics with a C in IGCSE maths typically find the content significantly more demanding.

Teacher Rig’s recommendation: Target a B or above in IGCSE Extended maths if Taylor’s A-Level Science, Economics, or Computing is the intended pathway.

Taylor’s Foundation in Science/Business

Minimum requirements:

• IGCSE with at least 5 passes, including English at C or above
• Mathematics: C or above for Foundation in Science; B or above preferred for competitive entry

Foundation programmes at Taylor’s are popular for students who narrowly missed direct A-Level entry requirements or who prefer a more gradual transition from IGCSE.

Taylor’s Diploma Programmes

Taylor’s Diploma programmes have more flexible entry requirements:

• IGCSE with at least 3 passes including English
• Mathematics requirements vary by specific diploma

What This Means for Your Child’s Preparation

If Taylor’s A-Level Science is the goal, a B in IGCSE maths is the practical target — not just to meet entry requirements but to handle Year 12 A-Level content. A C in IGCSE maths followed by A-Level Further Maths is a very challenging progression.
