Have I given any English language exams yet, and if not, which exam would you recommend in UK/Ireland for a Master's?

You haven't taken any English language exams yet. For your master's applications to the UK, Ireland, Canada, and New Zealand, the best exam to take is IELTS Academic. It is the most widely accepted and recognized test for both university admissions and visa requirements across these countries.
If you want a fully computer-based test with faster results, PTE Academic is another good option, but IELTS remains the safest and most straightforward choice for your profile.
