What TOEFL score do you need for LMU Munich?

The Economics department says a screenshot or scan of your TOEFL result is enough as long as it is clearly yours. If you do not have your score at the time of application, you can upload an informal petition saying you will send the result by email after the deadline, by 31 August. A degree from an English-language institution, with official proof that teaching was entirely in English, also counts.

The Management and Digital Technologies page says English test results must be issued within the last two years, and that a bachelor's degree or school diploma taught in English removes the need for a test.

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.

On the same pages, the Economics MSc asks IELTS Academic 6.5 overall and Management and Digital Technologies asks IELTS Academic 7.0.

Neither page describes a conditional offer or pre-sessional course for English. Management and Digital Technologies also accepts Cambridge C1 Advanced, a C1 TELC test and some other certificates, which may suit you better if you are close on TOEFL.

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