Over 5.3 million students study abroad every year. Many students learn in English-speaking countries like Australia, Canada, and the UK.
Studying in an English-speaking country offers lots of opportunities. It can also allow you to specialize in a particular field or gain employment after completing your education.
IELTS is recognized by more than 11,000 organizations, including educational institutes and professional bodies. Some universities in non-English-speaking countries also require an IELTS score for courses taught in English.
