What is the English language test requirement for my course and country options in UK/Italy for a Master's?
You will typically need to demonstrate English language proficiency for a Master's in Food Science in both the UK and Italy.
- UK: Most universities require an English test such as IELTS (usually 6.5 overall, no band below 6.0), TOEFL iBT (about 90 overall), or similar. Some may accept a waiver if your previous degree was taught in English, but this varies by institution.
- Italy: A B2 level of English is commonly required. This can be shown with tests like IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge English, or sometimes by passing an English exam during your previous studies or a university-specific test.
Requirements are subject to change and can differ by university. If you need help confirming which tests or waivers apply to your profile, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
