No, studying under a state board does not automatically affect your eligibility for a Medium of Instruction (MOI) waiver or admissions to master's programs in Singapore or Ireland.

The key factor is whether your previous education was conducted in English. Most universities consider the language of instruction, not the board, when assessing MOI waivers.

Requirements can vary by institution and program, so always confirm the specific English language criteria for your chosen course. If you need help with MOI documentation or university requirements, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
