How Brandon University handles TOEFL scores

Examination results must be no more than two years old at the time of submission. The page gives no ETS code, MyBest rule or Home Edition rule. Mature and home-school applicants who cannot show proficiency through any of the listed criteria are assessed individually with the University Registrar and the relevant dean.

For comparison, the same page asks IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with 6.0 on each band at both levels, and accepts One Skill Retake results.

If your TOEFL score is below Brandon University's level

Successful completion of Brandon University's English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Tier 4 meets the requirement, but the page says EAP is not accepting applications for Fall 2027 or Winter 2028. No conditional TOEFL level is listed, so for those intakes plan to reach the test minimum before you apply.

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