Yes, you can apply for a master's in English or related subjects, even with a four-year gap in your education. Your strong academic record - 80% in both your BA in English and MA in Education Assistance - makes you a competitive candidate.
Most universities will focus on your academic performance and require proof of English proficiency, such as an IELTS score (requirements typically range from 6.5 to 7.0 overall, subject to change). It’s important to address your gap years in your statement of purpose, explaining any personal growth or relevant experiences during that time.
