It depends. Some universities may waive the IELTS requirement if you have completed 14 years of English-medium schooling and a five-year law degree, but this is not guaranteed.

- Some institutions accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter as proof of English proficiency, but policies vary.
- Many universities in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands still require standardized English tests like IELTS, regardless of your background.

Requirements differ by university and program.
