For free education universities abroad, do they require IELTS or TOEFL, or can I apply without taking these English language tests in Singapore for a Master's?
It depends. Many universities abroad, including those with free or low tuition, may waive IELTS or TOEFL if you provide alternative proof of English proficiency.
- Medium of Instruction (MOI) Certificate: Some universities accept an official letter from your previous institution stating your studies were in English.
- Alternative English Tests: Exams like Duolingo English Test or PTE Academic are accepted by some universities.
- Visa Requirement: Even if the university waives IELTS/TOEFL, visa authorities may still require proof of English proficiency. This requirement is subject to change.
Requirements vary by country and university. For your target of a Master's in Singapore, check the specific English language policies of each institution.
