Yes, for Austria, Italy, and the Netherlands, the IELTS exam is typically required for admission to English-taught master's programs. Most universities in these countries set a minimum IELTS band score for postgraduate courses.

Some universities may also accept other English proficiency tests like TOEFL or Cambridge English, but IELTS is the most commonly required.

To meet admission requirements for your target countries, you should plan to take the IELTS exam. If you need guidance on preparation or booking, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
