Test rules and how to send your score

Linköping's page names IELTS Academic 6.5 with no section below 5.5, or TOEFL with 20 in writing and 90 overall, as typical tests for English 6. PTE 62 with writing 61 is the PTE equivalent on the University Admissions list.

If you fall short

Linköping says some students meet English 6 through their upper secondary studies, and those who studied in English at university level may be exempt from a test. Final-year bachelor's students can apply with proof that they are in their last year. No pre-sessional course is described.

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