Most Irish universities require a minimum overall IELTS Academic score of 6.5 for master's programs, with no individual band below 6.0.
Some programs may accept an overall 6.0, but this is less common. Meeting these scores usually fulfills both university admission and student visa English requirements. If your score is slightly lower, some universities may offer conditional admission with a pre-sessional English course.
