Yes, you can get admission to a UK university without IELTS if the university grants a waiver. With your strong profile and likely eligibility for an IELTS waiver, focus on shortlisting universities that match your Master's goals and check their English language requirements. Make sure your CAS letter confirms you’ve met these requirements, as this is needed for your UK student visa.

Yes, you may be eligible for an English language test waiver for your UK Master's program, based on your education and work experience.

You could qualify if:
- Your previous degree (such as your BE in Electrical and Electronic Engineering) was taught and assessed entirely in English, at a recognized institution.
- You have significant professional experience (at least 2 years) in an English-speaking environment, with daily use of English. Your 48 months of work experience may meet this, depending on your role and company.

Eligibility and required documents vary by university and are subject to change.

To proceed, share your academic transcripts and work experience details with your LeapScholar counsellor to confirm your waiver options.
