Yes, you can study in both Malta and France without IELTS if you provide alternative proof of English proficiency.

Many universities in Malta and France accept alternatives such as:
- Medium of Instruction (MOI) Certificate from your previous institution stating your education was in English.
- Alternative English tests like TOEFL, PTE Academic, or Duolingo English Test.
- Internal assessments or interviews conducted by the university.

However, some top or highly selective programs may still require IELTS, and requirements vary by university and course. For visa purposes, you may also need to show proof of English proficiency.
