Can I drop IELTS if I have prior work experience and other qualifications?

It depends. Some German universities may waive the IELTS requirement if you have prior work experience or if your previous education was in English, often accepting a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate as proof.

However, requirements vary by university and program. Some institutions require IELTS scores for all English-taught courses, regardless of your background.

Check the specific language criteria for each university and course you’re interested in. If you need help reviewing your options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
