Is there any country where I can directly apply for a master's program through IELTS or their own language exam without needing an MBBS degree in UK/Ireland for a Bachelor's?

Yes, you can apply directly for a master's program abroad with your bachelor's in dentistry - an MBBS degree is not required.

Many countries, including the UK and Ireland, accept applicants with a bachelor's in dentistry for master's programs, especially in fields like public health, healthcare management, or dental research. You will typically need:

- A recognized bachelor's degree in dentistry
- English proficiency: IELTS is commonly accepted (score requirements vary by program), or sometimes a university's own language exam

Requirements and accepted exams are subject to change.
