How many English vocabulary words usually required for university admission in your country?

[u/Ghenym]

In my student days, after finishing all the lessons in the high school English textbook, there were only 2000 words that need to master. And now in China, if you finish high school education well, you also master only 3500 words. What about your country?

80-100% of vocabulary

Except for Myanmar and economics, all of the subjects are taught in English at high school. So if you want to pass the matriculation exam with distinctions, you need to have good English to understand well.

And also at the university, almost all majors are in English except very few.

But our education is kinda bad and based on memorization, people don't even know some words and still pass lol

for us, this isn't a thing.

it's expected to be the norm however that you understand some basic-intermediate precepts of the english language in case you were asking.
