Which countries are more flexible with MOI in place of IELTS — UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or Germany?
When it comes to accepting Medium of Instruction (MOI) in place of IELTS, countries differ in flexibility.
The UK is generally the most flexible, as many universities accept MOI letters if your previous education was in English, especially for Indian students.
Canada is comparatively stricter—most universities and colleges still prefer IELTS or other English tests, though some institutions may accept MOI on a case-by-case basis.
Australia allows MOI in selected universities, but usually, it is limited to students from English-speaking countries or requires additional proof, so IELTS is still the standard.
New Zealand is somewhat open, with certain institutions accepting MOI, but some universities still ask for IELTS/PTE.
Germany has mixed policies, while some public universities accept MOI, especially at the postgraduate level, others strictly require IELTS/TOEFL
It is recommended to check the universities requirement before deciding on the course.
