Yes, your IELTS score directly affects your eligibility for both admissions and scholarships for master's programs in Spain.

- Most universities require a minimum IELTS Academic score of 6.5 for postgraduate admission. Some may accept lower scores (as low as 5.5), but this depends on the program and may require extra language support.
- Scholarships often set higher IELTS requirements, typically needing an overall score of 6.5 with no section below 5.5.

Requirements vary by university and scholarship, and are subject to change. A higher IELTS score strengthens your application for both admission and funding.
