Can you explain the possibility of enrolling in a one-year course to develop skills without preparing for IELTS due to a busy schedule in UK/Germany for a Master's?

Yes, it is possible to enroll in a one-year master's course in Germany or the UK without preparing for IELTS, especially if your previous education was in English.
Many universities accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate from your prior institution as proof of English proficiency. This can exempt you from standardized English tests like IELTS. However, acceptance of MOI and other alternatives varies by university and is subject to change.
