How ESU handles TOEFL scores

The undergraduate page asks for scores to be sent directly from ETS. At graduate level, applicants whose degree is from an institution where English is the only language of instruction do not need TOEFL or IELTS. No institution code or validity period is given. TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale. Where a page above gives only a 0 to 120 figure, that is the figure this guide reports.

For comparison, both pages set IELTS at Band 6.0.

If your TOEFL score is below ESU's level

Neither page describes conditional admission or an English pathway. Graduate applicants should contact the department or programme coordinator, since some set a higher score than the general minimum.

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