What Is a Medium of Instruction (MOI) Certificate?
A Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate is an official letter from your previous school confirming that your education was conducted in English.
For many universities, this document can be used as an alternative proof of English proficiency.
A typical MOI certificate includes:
1. Your full name
2. Program studied
3. Years of study
4. Confirmation that English was the language of instruction
5. School stamp and authorized signature
Remember that not every university accepts an MOI certificate, so confirm before applying.
