Test rules at AUAS

The International Business page says TOEFL certificates are valid for two years, and that the diploma evaluation department first checks whether your previous education already meets the B2 requirement. The Digital Driven Business page lets you apply with test registration details if results are not out yet, but the report is needed before the programme starts. Neither page mentions the Home Edition or MyBest scores.

On the International Business page, IELTS Academic is 6.0 with no subscore below 5.5; the master's asks 6.5 with 6.0 in each section.

If your TOEFL score falls short

Neither page offers a pre-sessional route. The International Business page says a prior degree taught completely in English in the EU, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK or the US can be assessed as proof instead.

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