What is the IELTS score requirement and how does my current score of 6 affect my chances in Singapore/France for a Master's/Postgraduate?
14 Jul 2026 · Answered by Prakhar Pragy Dixit · 1 min read
It depends. Most master's programs in Singapore and France require an IELTS Academic score of 6.5 or higher. With a score of 6.0, your options may be limited, but some universities do accept this lower score.
- Singapore: Most universities need 6.5, but a few accept 6.0 for postgraduate admissions.
- France: Many English-taught master's programs require 6.5, but some business schools and programs accept 6.0.
You may also find universities that offer conditional admission if you complete a pre-sessional English course.
To maximize your options, consider retaking the IELTS for a higher score or focus on programs that accept 6.0.
