Worried about English test scores blocking your international study dreams? In 2025, more countries and top universities are welcoming students without mandatory IELTS or TOEFL — especially if you have good academic English or studied in English medium.
Where Can You Study Without IELTS/TOEFL?
Top Destinations:
- Germany: Many public universities offer waivers for students with English-medium degrees or MOI (Medium of Instruction) letters.
- France: Select courses, especially at business schools, allow waivers based on interviews or school transcripts.
- Poland, Italy, and Czechia: Hundreds of courses taught in English, with waivers for certain nationalities or academic backgrounds.

- African & Asian partner countries: Several options for direct admissions at undergrad and postgrad levels.
How Does the Waiver Work?
- Proof of English: Submit a letter from your previous institution or board, confirming instruction was in English.
- University Interview: Some universities conduct their own short English interview before confirming the offer.
- Transcript Review: Good grades in English during your studies often suffice.
