What is the minimum IELTS score for UK Master's programs for the January 2027 intake?
09 Jun 2026 · Answered by Shairal Pathak · 1 min read
Most UK universities require a minimum overall IELTS score of 6.5, with no section below 6.0, for postgraduate programs. Top universities may ask for 7.0 or higher. Since specific requirements can vary, check the exact score needed for your chosen course and university. If your score is lower, you might be able to take a pre-sessional English course to meet the entry requirements.
