Do I have to complete the IELTS course compulsorily for Germany or Singapore for a Master's?
17 Jun 2026 · Answered by Smitha Satish S · 1 min read
Yes, for most master's programs in Germany and Singapore, you must complete the IELTS exam to demonstrate English language proficiency. Universities typically require a minimum IELTS score, usually around 6.5 for master's admissions.
Some institutions may accept other English tests, but IELTS is the most widely accepted. This requirement is especially important if your previous education was not entirely in English.
Given your background and plans for a master's, preparing for and achieving the required IELTS score will be necessary for your applications. If you need guidance on IELTS preparation or university requirements, your LeapScholar counsellor can help.
