What English proficiency test scores are required for studying in France or Ireland for a Postgraduate?
English proficiency test requirements for France and Ireland vary by university and program, but most institutions accept IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo English Test scores.
- France: Typical minimum IELTS scores range from 5.5 to 6.5 depending on the university and course. Some institutions may have higher requirements for graduation or specific programs.
