What is the IELTS requirement for admission and how long does IELTS coaching take in UK/Ireland?
27 Jul 2026 · Answered by Geetha Muthu · 1 min read
Most universities in the UK, Ireland, Italy, and UAE require an IELTS Academic score of 6.0 - 7.0 overall, with no band below 5.5 - 6.0. Some competitive programs (like Medicine, Law, or Nursing) may ask for 7.0 - 7.5 overall, with higher minimums per band.
IELTS coaching typically lasts 4 - 12 weeks, depending on your current English level and course intensity.
With your strong academic background in Physiotherapy, you may be eligible for an IELTS waiver if your previous studies were in English. University policies vary, so requirements are subject to change.
