Can I use my Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate from my school/university instead of IELTS for English proficiency?
It depends. Some Singaporean universities may accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate as proof of English proficiency, allowing you to skip standardized tests like IELTS. However, top universities, including NUS and NTU, usually require an IELTS score (typically minimum 6.5), even if you have an MOI.
Policies vary by university and program, so requirements are subject to change. Some institutions may also request an interview to assess your English skills.
