Is the IELTS requirement waived for students from the Cambridge curriculum?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Pushplata Gaddmwar · 1 min read
It depends. Many universities may waive the IELTS requirement for students from the Cambridge curriculum if you can provide proof, such as a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter, showing your education was in English.
However, this is not automatic - some universities, including the University of Cambridge, require all applicants to submit valid English language test scores, regardless of their educational background.
Requirements vary by university and program.
