Is an IELTS score necessary to study abroad?

 If you also want to study abroad and are wondering whether IELTS is necessary or not, then this guide is for you.


IELTS is one of the most popular English language proficiency tests in the world and more than 4 million individuals take this test every year. You need it in the Visa application process and then also in the university admission application process. However, you will have to check the requirements or notification to know whether your chosen university requires an IELTS score or not.


Additionally, you also have to check the official government website to know whether an IELTS score will be needed or not in the Visa process. For example, Australia requires an IELTS score to provide a student visa and this detail is provided on their home affairs website. 

Other alternative methods

However, one important thing you need to know is that you can still study in Australia without IELTS. You can either provide scores of alternative exams or choose a university where IELTS is not compulsory. If you are choosing an alternative exam then TOEFL iBT, PTE, CAE, are here for you. If you are looking for Australian universities that grant admission with an IELTS/TOEFL score then  The University of New South Wales, The University of Queensland, Macquarie University, The University of Adelaide, etc are some of the well-known universities. 


Other alternative methods are proving that you have completed your education in the English language, or you may need to provide proof of English grades with a minimum of 70% marks from your high school or previous classes.

Depends upon the Course, University and Country

However, getting admission to top universities like the University of Sydney Australia will be hard with IELTS/ TOEFL scores. So, if you are planning to to MBBS in Australia for Indian students and choose a top-rated university then you will need an IELTS/TOEFL score.


So, the moral of the story is that if you want to study abroad and from a top-ranked university then you will need to appear in IELTS or any other alternative exams. However, an IELTS score is not compulsory to study abroad. It depends on the minimum requirements of the university or country’s visa requirements. 

Conclusion

Whether you want to study in UK, Australia or any other foreign country, you will have to do proper research. Only after that fill out the admission or Visa application forms. IELTS is a popular choice for students and the score will be valid for two years. So, think and make a wise decision. Anyway, if you need help and guidance feel free to contact a reputed study abroad consultancy like Meridean Overseas.
