Yes, you can apply to many UK universities without IELTS, especially if you have studied in English. Alternatives include:

- Medium of Instruction (MOI) Certificate: A letter from your university stating your degree was taught in English.
- Other English Tests: Some universities accept TOEFL, PTE Academic, or Duolingo English Test.
- Pre-sessional English Courses: Offered by some universities if you need to meet language requirements.

Application fees vary by university - £90 is common for postgraduate courses at top UK institutions. Fee waivers may be available in specific cases, but this depends on each university's policy.

Given your Civil Engineering background and 6.2 CGPA, discuss your options and suitable universities with your LeapScholar counsellor for tailored guidance.
