Is there any special course in the UK that does not require IELTS or PTE?

Yes, some UK universities offer courses that do not require IELTS or PTE scores. Instead, they may accept:
- Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter if your previous education was in English
- Alternative English tests like TOEFL or Duolingo English Test
- University’s own English assessment
- Pre-sessional English courses if your proficiency is slightly below requirements
However, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) may still require an approved English proficiency test for visa purposes - this is subject to change.
