When universities start accepting applications, will they ask for English test scores immediately or allow submission later?

Yes, most universities require you to submit English proficiency test scores, such as IELTS, at the time of application. This allows them to fully assess your eligibility.

Some universities, like Università della Svizzera italiana, specify that your English test certificate must be valid and submitted with your application - typically, results older than three years are not accepted as of the intake date.

Plan to take your English test early so your scores are ready before you apply. If you need help with test planning or timelines, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
