How can I get direct admission in universities in Canada or germany?(without TOEFL or iets etc.), since their fee is too much.
Hello Hemanshu Sogra,
Pathway Programmes:
- Universities in countries like USA, Germany, and Australia give you the option of taking up pathway programmes in order to help you get into good universities if you do not meet the preliminary university requirements.
- These pathway programmes train you in subjects varying from English to any sort of academic subject you wish to pursue in your course.
- This course lasts for around 9-15 months.
- After doing this course you are given admissions based on you scores in this course and not your high school achievements.
There are many universities in Canada, UK, Norway, Australia and Germany which let you study without giving IELTS.
Study in Canada without IELTS or TOEFL:
- You need to have attended an institution for at least four years where English had been used as the primary language for communication and delivery of instructions.
- However, each university has specific result requirements which you will need to meet, whether it be specific marks in English in the last qualifying exam or it be certain aggregate marks/percentage achieved.
- Universities in Canada which accept students who have not appeared for TOEFL/IELTS are Brock University, Carelton University, University of Regina, University of Winnipeg, Concordia University, Memorial University etc.
Study in Germany without IELTS or TOEFL:
- Most of the universities in Germany do not require you to have given TOEFL or IELTS.
- You just need a letter from your school stating your proficiency in the English language.
- However, if you are going for en English language based test, you will have to qualify English fluency and language tests.
- Some universties in Germany which do not require you to have given English language tests are University of Siegen, University of Giessen, University of Kaiserslautern etc.
Study in Australia without IELTS or TOEFL:
- The University of Queensland gives you admission if you have completed a course where English was the primary means of instruction, or if you have worked in an English speaking environment for at least five years.
- Macquarie University and the University of Adelaide offer admissions only if students accept an English programme before the commencement of their selected course.
- The University of South Australia and Bond University offer other tests like CAE and PTE.
- Bond University, the University of Southern Quennsland and the Swinburne University also accept students who had English as the medium of instruction throughout their secondary education.
All the best!
