What are the English proficiency exam requirements for my application in Australia/Germany for a Master's/Postgraduate?

For Master's applications in Germany and Australia, you'll typically need to demonstrate English proficiency with an IELTS Academic test.

- Germany (English-taught programs): Most universities require an IELTS 6.5 overall. Some may have higher or specific band requirements.
- Australia (Postgraduate coursework): Generally, you'll need an IELTS 6.5 overall, with no band below 6.0. Research-focused programs may require higher scores.

IELTS scores are usually valid for 2 years (subject to change). Some universities may accept other tests like TOEFL or PTE, or may waive the requirement if your previous education was in English.
