GRE or GMAT scores are not mandatory for most MSc programs abroad, especially in countries like the UK. For your planned master's, UK universities generally base admissions on your academic performance, Statement of Purpose, Letters of Recommendation, and overall profile rather than standardized test scores. However, if you consider highly competitive or specialized programs, especially in business or quantitative fields, some may require or recommend GRE or GMAT scores. It's important to confirm the entry requirements for each specific program. If you need help reviewing the requirements, your LeapScholar counsellor can assist.
