How can I proceed with my application if I do not currently have a valid IELTS score but have a MOI (Medium of Instruction) certificate in UK?
Yes, you can apply using your Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate if you don’t have a valid IELTS score.
Many UK universities accept an MOI certificate as proof of English proficiency if your previous degree was taught entirely in English. Make sure your MOI is on official letterhead, signed by an authorized official, and clearly states your course was conducted in English.
University acceptance of MOI varies, and UK student visa authorities may have separate English language requirements. Ensure the university’s acceptance of MOI is reflected in your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) letter.
Speak with your LeapScholar counsellor for help identifying suitable universities and confirming MOI acceptance.
