What are the English marks requirements for studying abroad in UK/Australia?
21 Jul 2026 · Answered by Sai Sunayan Reddy P · 1 min read
There is no fixed percentage for English marks in school or college to study abroad. Most universities require you to take a standardized English proficiency test like IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic.
For master’s programs in countries like the UK, Canada, Australia, and the US, typical requirements are:
- IELTS overall 6.5 - 7.0 (no band below 6.0)
- Equivalent scores in TOEFL or PTE
Some universities may waive these tests if your previous education was in English and you provide a Medium of Instruction certificate, but this varies by institution.
Your standardized English test score is usually the main criterion for admission and visa.
