Yes, some scholarships in the UK are available for postgraduate diploma programs without requiring an IELTS score. Many universities accept alternative English proficiency proofs, such as a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate or other tests like TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo.
Scholarship-specific English requirements can vary, so always check the criteria for each scholarship. Some, like the Chevening Scholarship, accept alternatives to IELTS.
