Do I need to take IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL, and can you help with coaching or booking the test in UK/Ireland for a Master's?
Yes, you will typically need to take an English proficiency test such as IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL for master's applications in Ireland, the UK, and Poland, unless your previous degree was taught entirely in English. Requirements vary by university and program, but IELTS is widely accepted.

Yes, most UK universities require proof of English proficiency for master's admission, typically through IELTS Academic with an overall score of 6.5 - 7.0. Some universities may accept alternatives like TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo. If your previous degree was taught entirely in English and you can provide a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate, you might be eligible for an IELTS waiver at certain universities.
However, current UK visa rules often still require an approved English test even if the university grants a waiver. It's safest to prepare for IELTS unless a waiver is confirmed.
