On this page, "without IELTS" does not mean there is never any English proof. It means the scholarship or linked admission guidance discusses accepted alternatives, exemptions, English-medium study history, or another route besides IELTS alone.
This is useful because many UK scholarships are tied to university admission rules rather than having a separate language policy of their own. Use this page to shortlist the right routes first, then confirm the final language requirement on the official university source.
Use these next steps to compare UK language-flexible routes with wider Europe or funding pages.
