Yes, most master's programs abroad require a relevant undergraduate degree or background in a related field.

With your four-year bachelor's in Medical Science, you are generally eligible for master's programs in areas like public health, biomedical sciences, or healthcare management. However, exact requirements vary by university and program - some may need specific subjects or coursework from your bachelor's.

You will also need to provide proof of English language proficiency, such as an IELTS score. Since you haven't taken the IELTS yet, plan to prepare and schedule the test.

If you need help identifying suitable programs or understanding specific requirements, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
