Yes, you may be eligible for an IELTS waiver if your bachelor's degree was taught entirely in English and you can provide a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter from your institution.

Many universities in the UK, Singapore, France, and the USA accept an MOI letter as proof of English proficiency, especially for applicants from countries where English is the primary medium in higher education. However, acceptance of MOI letters varies by university and program, and some institutions may have additional requirements or time limits on when your degree was completed.

For guidance on obtaining an MOI letter or identifying universities that accept this waiver, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
