Yes, maintaining good academic percentages and strong English proficiency test scores is essential for eligibility in UK master's programs.

Most UK universities require:
- Minimum 55 - 60% overall in your undergraduate degree (varies by university and program)
- IELTS score of 6.5 overall, with no band below 6.0 (some top universities may require 7.0+)

With your strong academic background, you are well positioned. Focus on preparing for the IELTS to boost your application.
