For Sri Lankan applicants: A credit pass (C) in A-Level English is accepted as proof of English proficiency for bachelor’s programs, and completing a degree in the English medium is accepted for master’s programs. This requirement has been in place from the start, though some consultants may suggest taking IELTS as an advantage due to the high volume of global applications. From personal experience, I was accepted into a master’s program without needing IELTS, demonstrating that this process works as explained. I also know several individuals who came to Sweden without IELTS. I’ve highlighted this in my video, hoping it helps students save time and money while making informed decisions. It’s also advisable to check the specific course content at the university, as some programs may still require IELTS. However, most exemptions apply if a bachelor’s degree was completed in English. So, reviewing course details is essential. While IELTS isn’t always mandatory, it can still enhance your application and be viewed as a merit. However, applicants should know that it’s not a strict requirement in many cases. Understanding this can help alleviate unnecessary stress and expenses. I encourage you to watch my video, where I provide detailed guidance from the beginning.
