English is widely spoken in most European countries, making communication possible for students and professionals who come from all over the world to achieve their goals.

In Europe, thousands of courses are offered in English and many companies conduct their business in English as well. If you want to work or study in a country like Germany, Ireland, Denmark or the Netherlands, an IELTS test will form part of your application requirements.

Why IELTS?

IELTS is the world’s most trusted English test, accepted by immigration authorities, companies and universities across Europe. For more than 30 years, IELTS has set the standard for English language testing, helping students and professionals meet application requirements and improve their skills in Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.

As co-owners of the IELTS test, the British Council supports test takers with comprehensive preparation material to ensure their best possible score is obtained. To ensure test takers are comfortable with the format, IELTS is offered on computer or on paper.

When you take IELTS on Computer, you can expect to see results in 1 – 5 calendar days, making it the ideal test format to meet application deadlines.

Why study or work in Europe?

There are countless opportunities in Europe for people who want to gain experience abroad. In Germany, you can attend a public university for free and only pay an administrative fee. This means you can graduate with a globally recognised degree without having to worry about tuition fees.

Healthcare workers will find their skills in high demand in countries like Ireland and the Netherlands while countries like Denmark and Spain are looking for educators.

Once you’re living in Europe, visiting other countries on the continent is easy. The Eurostar, a high-speed train, takes travellers to the UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. Flights between countries are quick and cheap too, making it possible to see much more than the country you plan to achieve your goals in.

When you take IELTS, you can open doors to a world of opportunity. No one prepares you for the future like we do!
