Do I need to give IELTS or PTE for New Zealand and Germany for a Master's/Postgraduate?
Yes, you generally need to provide proof of English language proficiency, such as IELTS or PTE Academic, for both New Zealand and Germany when applying for a master's program.
- New Zealand: Most universities require an IELTS Academic score of 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0) for postgraduate programs. PTE Academic is also accepted, typically with a minimum overall score of 58 and no communicative skill below 50.
- Germany: Many universities require IELTS Academic scores between 6.5 - 7.5 for postgraduate programs. PTE Academic is accepted by some universities, but IELTS or TOEFL are more commonly required.
Requirements can vary by university and program and are subject to change.
