IELTS for study

Over 3.7 million students study abroad every year. Many students study in English-speaking countries, such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and USA.

Studying in an English-speaking country offers lots of opportunities. It can also allow you to specialize in a particular field or gain employment once you have finished your education.

IELTS is recognized by more than 11,000 education and training providers worldwide. Some universities in non-English speaking countries also require an IELTS score if the course is taught in English.

IELTS Academic

The IELTS Academic test is suitable for those wanting to study in an English-speaking environment or university (higher education). You can also take IELTS Academic for professional registration purposes.

Students can request to send their IELTS results to up to five organizations free of charge. There is a fee for sending results to additional organizations. You can request your center to send your results as long as your IELTS scores are valid.
