Do I need to give IELTS for Master's admission in Ireland?

Yes, IELTS is generally required for studying in Ireland. Most Irish universities ask for proof of English proficiency, and IELTS is the most commonly accepted test.

Some universities may accept alternatives like TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo English Test, or may offer waivers if your previous education was fully in English and you scored well in English in Class 12. Waivers and accepted tests vary by university and program.

Requirements are set by each university, not the Irish government. Check the specific English language criteria for your chosen program. If you need help with waivers or alternatives, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
