Non-native English speakers are generally required to demonstrate proficiency in the language through standardized tests such as TOEFL or IELTS. Typically, a TOEFL score of 90 or above or an IELTS score of 7.0 or higher is expected, but relevant experience or advanced degrees in English-speaking environments may provide exemptions.
