Yes, most architecture master's programs in Europe require proof of English proficiency, usually through an IELTS score. The typical minimum is an overall 6.5, with at least 6.0 in each section, but this varies by university and country.

Some universities may accept other tests (like TOEFL) or offer pre-sessional English courses if you don't meet the score. Requirements are subject to change and can differ by program.

Since you haven't taken IELTS yet, preparing for the exam is recommended to meet standard admission criteria. If you need guidance on test prep or university options, your LeapScholar counsellor can help.
