English proficiency is a standard requirement for UK university Master's programmes. Good news: online programmes often have more flexible requirements than you might expect.
Most UK universities require IELTS 6.0-6.5 (with no band below 5.5-6.0) for postgraduate study. Equivalent TOEFL and PTE scores are usually accepted.
If English isn't your first language, don't let the requirement stop you. Many professionals who studied in English or work in multinational environments qualify through alternatives. The university understands international students' challenges and provides support throughout the programme.
