Not always. English-language requirements vary by country, university and course. Some institutions may accept IELTS, PTE, TOEFL or other recognised tests, while some may offer alternative ways to demonstrate English proficiency.

What if I have not taken IELTS or another English test yet?

You can still begin the counselling and university-selection process. We can help you understand which English-language requirement applies to your preferred universities.

UK Study
