If I want to qualify for IELTS, what are the requirements or alternatives in UK?

To take IELTS, you need to register for the IELTS Academic test, which measures your English skills in listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The result is valid for two years.

Alternatives accepted by many UK universities include:
- TOEFL iBT
- PTE Academic
- Cambridge English Qualifications (C1 Advanced, C2 Proficiency)
- Duolingo English Test

Some universities may waive the test if your previous education was entirely in English and you can provide a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate.

Requirements differ by university and program.
