Do I need to give IELTS if I have a medium of instruction certificate from my college stating English as the medium, or can I skip IELTS?
23 Jun 2026 · Answered by Abhishek Mehta · 1 min read
It depends. Many German universities accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate as proof of English proficiency, which may let you skip the IELTS. Your MOI must clearly state that your entire course was taught in English.
However, requirements vary by university and program - some still require IELTS even with an MOI. Always check the specific language policy for each course.
