What IELTS score do you need for UCLouvain (Université catholique de Louvain)?

At EPL, for 2026-2027 the exemptions are a degree awarded in English or a GRE Subject Test in Mathematics score. For 2027-2028 the page adds Cambridge STEP, GATE Mathematics (MA), IIT-JAM Mathematics (MA) and a GRE General Test report with sufficient scores. The page does not define sufficient. The same test scores apply to both years.

For European Public Governance the page lists no explicit exemption but says other proof may include three English-taught bachelor's courses with validated ECTS credits, at least three months of professional experience writing in English on law or social science topics, or relevant English-speaking activities such as European Parliament simulations.

These are two programmes, not a university-wide rule. Other UCLouvain master's pages publish their own access conditions, so look up the "Access requirements" page of your programme. The EPL deadlines for 2027-2028 are due to be announced in August; contact epl-admission@uclouvain.be with questions.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UCLouvain programme page and in your offer, so check it there before you book a test.
