What TOEFL score do you need for FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg?

The orientation guide notes that TOEFL scores are valid for two years and that each faculty decides the language level and certificates it accepts. The International Business Studies page gives TOEFL code 8265 and asks you to add the programme name; it also lets you send results directly to the programme until 30 June if the test is delayed.

On the same pages, IELTS is 5.5 for B2 and 7.0 for C1 in the orientation guide, and 7.0 for International Business Studies.

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. The page above gives only 0 to 120 figures, so that is what this guide reports.

The pages describe no conditional offer for English. International Business Studies accepts an English-taught bachelor's degree with a medium of instruction certificate instead of a test.

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