Will my master's degree in English literature be accepted as proof of English proficiency, or do I need to give an English language test in UK/USA?

It depends. Some universities in the USA and UK may accept your Master’s in English literature as proof of English proficiency, but this varies by institution and program.

- Many universities require an English language test (like IELTS or TOEFL) unless your degree was taught entirely in English and meets their exemption criteria. - Policies differ - some may grant a waiver based on your degree, while others will still require a test.

Check the specific requirements of your target universities. If they do not grant a waiver, you will need to take an English proficiency test.
