Should I take both IELTS and TOEFL exams or is one enough in Singapore for a Master's/Bachelor's?
One English proficiency test - either IELTS or TOEFL - is enough for Master's applications in Singapore. Most universities, including NUS and NTU, accept both tests and do not require you to take both.
Since your Bachelor's degree was taught in English, you may be eligible for a waiver from submitting English test scores. This depends on the specific university and program, as policies vary.
If you need help confirming the requirements for your target universities, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
