IELTS requirements change and vary by route, employer, and institution — always confirm the current figure with the official body before you rely on it.
Chemistry degrees at overseas universities are reading- and writing-intensive from day one: you will parse dense journal articles, write lab reports with precise technical language, and follow complex procedural instructions in lectures and practicals. IELTS Academic is the standard accepted proof of English proficiency for both university admission and the student visa application, and both the institution and the visa authority may set their own minimum thresholds independently. Because Chemistry coursework demands accuracy in reading scientific texts and producing clear analytical writing, your IELTS preparation should prioritise those two skills above all others.
Targeting Europe: Many European universities in countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, and Scandinavia offer English-taught Chemistry programmes and require IELTS Academic for non-native speakers; national student-visa rules vary significantly across EU and non-EU countries, so check both the university and the relevant national immigration authority.
Prioritise the Academic Writing module, because Chemistry assignments require you to describe processes, interpret data from graphs and experimental results, and build evidence-based arguments — exactly the skills tested in IELTS Academic Writing Tasks 1 and 2.
