The university's own page and your offer letter are the final word. These rules change with each intake, and a university can still ask for a test for some courses, so read the official page before you apply. 47 Fellows is not connected to these universities and never charges students.

Never pay for an MOI letter

An MOI letter only ever comes from your own university. A letter bought from anyone else is a false document. Nobody can sell you an IELTS waiver: only the university abroad decides.
