Is IELTS required for studying in Singapore?

Yes, most universities in Singapore require an IELTS Academic score to demonstrate English proficiency for undergraduate admission. The typical minimum overall band score is 6.0 - 6.5, depending on the university.

However, if your previous education was in English, some universities may offer an IELTS waiver if you provide a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate. This is not automatic and depends on the specific university and program.

IELTS scores are valid for 2 years from the test date and must be current at the time of application and enrollment.

Given your academic background, you may qualify for a waiver.
