Can you study in the UK without IELTS?

Yes, you can study in the UK without taking the IELTS.  Though, English proficiency is one of the most important requirements for obtaining a Tier 4 (General) Student visa.

There are a few UK universities that can waive off the IELTS Test.

Here are a few of the cases, where you can be exempted from taking the IELTS test:

  • If the university considers your English score in high school, i.e., with 60% in 10th and 12th, you can get your application accepted by the university.
  • If your prior education is in the English language only.
  • An online interview can help you skip the IELTS test. A few UK universities allow candidates to take up an online interview through Skype.
