Test rules at Aalborg

Both pages say AAU accepts old TOEFL versions and scores in all valid tests, does not accept TOEFL Essentials or MyBest scores, and verifies every test with the test centre. All results must meet the minimum in one sitting. The bachelor's page asks you to register institution code 8892 and says tests must be less than two years old at the time of application; the master's page measures that by the application deadline.

On the same pages, IELTS Academic (including IELTS Online) is 6.5 with 6.0 in each section.

If your TOEFL score falls short

AAU names no pathway, and both pages say degrees taught in English are not accepted as proof, regardless of country. The master's page lets you upload a test registration receipt and send the final result later if admitted, and allows an older test in some cases for holders of a Danish degree.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Aalborg programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
