Do I need to write the IELTS exam even if I have a similar certification from work for a Master's/Bachelor's?

It depends on the requirements of the German universities and master's programs you apply to. Some universities may waive the IELTS (English language test) if you completed your bachelor's degree in English, but this policy varies by institution and program.
A work-related English certification is not always accepted as a substitute for IELTS. Most universities prefer academic proof of English proficiency or recognized tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or Duolingo.
Check the specific language requirements for each program you are interested in. If you are unsure, your LeapScholar counsellor can help clarify your options and next steps.
