When is he planning to write the IELTS exam or does he have any IELTS waiver in UK/Ireland?
He has not taken the IELTS exam yet. For September 2026 intake in Ireland, the UK, and France, most universities require an overall IELTS score of 6.5, with no band below 6.0 (subject to change).
Some universities may offer an IELTS waiver if all previous education was in English, but this is not guaranteed and is reviewed case by case.
To stay on track for applications, he should plan to book the IELTS exam soon or discuss waiver options with his LeapScholar counsellor.
