Are there English language test requirements for Singapore and Australian universities?
Yes, most universities in Singapore and Australia generally require proof of English proficiency through tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, PTE. Some universities may consider MOI (Medium of Instruction), but taking an English language test is usually the safer option to keep more university choices open.
More expert answers
It depends. Most Master's programs in Singapore require proof of English proficiency (like IELTS or TOEFL), but you may be eligible for a waiver if your undergraduate degree was taught in English.
Since you completed your Architecture degree in India, where English is often the medium of instruction, you might qualify for this exemption. However, the exact policy varies by university and program.
To confirm your eligibility for a waiver, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance on your target universities.
