Is IELTS required for masters in most countries, and are there any waivers like Duolingo accepted for a Master's?

It depends. IELTS is widely required for master's admissions in many countries, but some universities accept alternatives like the Duolingo English Test (DET). Acceptance of these tests and the possibility of waivers varies by institution and program.

- IELTS: Most common English proficiency test required.
- Duolingo English Test: Accepted by some universities as an alternative, but not universally.
- Waivers: Some universities may waive the English test if your previous degree was taught in English, depending on their policies.
