If I apply for the summer 2027 intake, can I use my IELTS certificate valid until February 2027?

No, you cannot use your IELTS certificate valid only until February 2027 for the summer 2027 intake.

IELTS scores are valid for two years from the test date, and most universities require your score to be valid at the time of enrollment - not just at application. Since summer intake typically starts after February, your certificate will expire before you enroll.

You will likely need to retake IELTS closer to your enrollment date to ensure your score remains valid.
