Can I apply to UK universities without GMAT/GRE and get a conditional offer letter before submitting IELTS scores for a Master's?

Yes, you can apply to many UK universities for master's programs without GMAT or GRE scores, as these are usually not required except for certain business or management courses.
Many UK universities also offer conditional offer letters before you submit your IELTS (English language test) scores. You'll need to provide proof of English proficiency - such as an IELTS score or a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter - before final admission.
Requirements vary by program and university, so always check the specific criteria for your chosen course.
