For UK, do I need to give any other exam apart from IELTS for a Master's?

It depends on the university and course. For most UK master's programs, IELTS is the main English test required. However, some universities or programs may ask for additional assessments or qualifications.

- Additional tests: Rare for master's, but some technical or competitive courses may require subject-specific exams or interviews.
- Alternative English tests: Some universities accept TOEFL, PTE Academic, or a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate instead of IELTS.
- Waivers: If your previous education was in English, certain universities may waive the IELTS requirement.

Requirements vary by university and course. For specific details, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
