Do I need IELTS for Master's admission and visa in New Zealand or the UK?

Yes, you will need to take the IELTS for both admission and visa purposes when applying for a master’s in New Zealand or the UK. Aim for a strong score, as most universities require at least a 6.5 overall. Since you’re planning to take the test, start preparing early to meet both university and visa requirements for your chosen intake.
