What IELTS score do you need for IU International University of Applied Sciences?

These three tests are the only certificates IU lists. PTE Academic, Duolingo and IELTS One Skill Retake are not named, and the TOEFL must be taken at a test centre, so the Home Edition is out. IU gives an overall IELTS score without band minimums. For bachelor's applicants, IU adds that a passport from a country where English is the official and educational language can serve as proof instead.

Every international applicant also has a 15-minute online admission interview. If you do not pass it for English reasons, IU may suggest an English course and lets you retake the interview later. IU notes that the German embassy's English rules for your visa may differ from its own.

IU says students from India, China and Vietnam need an APS certificate to validate their academic documents, and you need IU's acceptance letter before you can apply for it. Its on-campus FAQ adds that APS India now includes the Digital Master Test (dMAT) for some master's applicants, applying from the summer semester 2027, depending on the field of the previous degree.

Academic entry: 60-ECTS master's programmes need 240 ECTS from your undergraduate degree, and 120-ECTS programmes need a 180-ECTS degree. MBAs also ask for at least one year of work experience after your previous studies.

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