Do i need to retake toefl? (after english-taught masters)

[bagayby]

Hello, 

I already took TOEFL exam but it is now expired. I am asking about this because my masters program is taught in english as one year in the Netherlands and one year in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. 

I was wondering if i need to retake the exam in order to apply for PhD in UK/US or any country that requires toefl. I mean i have been living in an english speaking country for a year so i shouldn't need it, right?

You'd need to check with the particular schools you're applying to. I think for most of the ones I applied to, you'd be able to get a waiver. Programs that didn't have an official provision for students who attended an English-taught program said that students can contact them to get waivers on a case by case basis. They might ask that one of your LORs address your language proficiency, but that shouldn't really be a problem given your situation.

Thanks for the reply. I have been checking few universities and indeed most of them are satisfied with two semesters in graduate school in an english speaking country
