These exams add to the expenses an international student has to pay for the required education abroad. Some universities in countries like Germany also offer international students an optional foundation course in the native language for a year or two. However, Nigerian students have opposed the decision of them having to take the IELTS to prove their language fluency as Nigeria is an English Speaking Country. Still, there is actually a great list of universities that do not have mandatory English Language Test requirements for international students. Check this blog out to know about the universities that accept Nigerian Students without IELTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IELTS - Why is it So Important ? | IELTS for Study Abroad | Leverage IELTS\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tKh9How-ZEw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
