03 Aug 2026 · Answered by Sai Sunayan Reddy P · 1 min read
Most UK universities require an IELTS Academic score of 6.5 - 7.0 overall, with no band below 6.0 or 6.5. Top universities may expect 7.5 overall with no band below 7.0. Based on your profile, aim for at least 7.0 overall and no band below 6.5 for competitive applications.
In France, typical requirements are 6.0 - 7.0 overall, varying by university and program. Some French universities may waive IELTS if your previous degree was taught in English or with a Medium of Instruction certificate.
