What are the English language score requirements from 12th grade for admission for a Master's/MBA?
03 Jul 2026 · Answered by Swastika Ghosh · 1 min read
Most Irish universities do not accept 12th-grade English scores alone for Master's admission. Instead, they require an English proficiency test like IELTS.
- IELTS: Minimum 6.5 overall, with no band below 6.0 (typical requirement; subject to change).
- Some specialized programs (e.g., Medicine, Law, MBA) may require a higher score, usually 7.0 - 7.5 overall.
A few universities may consider 12th-grade English marks for waiving the IELTS requirement, but this is uncommon and not guaranteed. Providing an IELTS score is strongly recommended to strengthen your application and visa process.
If you need help booking or preparing for IELTS, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
