When will I be expected to give exams like IELTS and APS, and what subjects are included in these exams in Germany/Italy for a Master's?

You will typically need to take the IELTS exam to prove English proficiency for a Master's in Italy. Most universities expect an overall band score of 6.0 - 6.5. The IELTS tests four skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
The APS (Academic Evaluation Service) exam is not required for Italy; it is mainly for Germany.
Plan to take IELTS by mid-2026 to meet January 2027 intake deadlines. For specific requirements, check with your LeapScholar counsellor.
