JMC Academy TOEFL rules
JMC recognises TOEFL scores taken within two years before the start of your JMC studies, and refers applicants to its English Language Requirements sheet for accepted online tests.
TOEFL iBT score reports from January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score; our guide to the new TOEFL score scale explains how the two scales appear on a report.
For comparison, the same page asks IELTS 6 overall (no band below 5.5) for undergraduate and vocational programs and IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0) for postgraduate.

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