What are the English exam requirements and are there any waivers available in UK/Singapore for a Master's?
You will typically need to provide proof of English proficiency for Master's applications in both the UK and Singapore.
- UK: Most universities require an English test score such as IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English. Waivers are usually only granted if your previous degree was taught in English and from a recognized English-speaking country - this may not apply if your degree was from India.
- Singapore: Universities like NUS require English proficiency tests for applicants whose education was not in English. Waivers are rare and considered case by case.
Requirements and waiver policies are subject to change and vary by university and program. For guidance specific to your background and target universities, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
