Yes, you may be able to submit a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter instead of IELTS if you graduated within the last five years, but this depends on the university and program in Ireland.

- MOI acceptance varies: Some universities accept an MOI letter as proof of English proficiency, mainly for postgraduate courses and if your prior degree was taught entirely in English.
- University policies differ: Not all universities or programs accept MOI. For example, some may never accept it, while others consider it case by case.
- Visa requirements: Even if the university accepts MOI, an English test may still be needed for your student visa. This is subject to change.
