ESCP TOEFL iBT minimums

From the ESCP Master in Management page and the Pre-Master Year page. Both give the TOEFL minimum on the 1 to 6 scale only; ESCP publishes no 0 to 120 figure, and this guide does not convert one.

Test rules at ESCP

The MiM page lists Cambridge, IELTS, TOEIC and TOEFL as accepted English tests, valid for 2 years, alongside a GMAT, GRE, CAT or TAGE-MAGE score. Neither page gives section minimums, a Home Edition policy, a MyBest policy or an ETS institution code.

On the same pages, the matching minimums are IELTS 6.5, Cambridge FCE 175 and TOEIC Listening and Reading 900.

For how the 1 to 6 scale works, see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale.

If your TOEFL score falls short

The MiM page says students with previous studies outside France may ask to take the ESCP test instead, which is only available in Berlin, London, Madrid and Turin. It does not describe a pre-sessional English course.

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