Hi
No you don't need to provide IELTS. Nonetheless, it depends on the university and the programme. General rule is if you have completed a degree in an English speaking country for 1 year or so, you don't need to provide any language proof. Additionally, you need to provide university WES report (degree equivalence report) where they always mention 'Medium of Instruction': English for the UK.
Good luck!

If you are applying for FSW - IELTS is mandatory. It doesn't matter where you completed your education or what country you are from. No IELTS = automatic refusal.

The poster above was talking about study permits. IELTS isn't mandatory for study permits.
