Exemptions and the TUL entrance requirements
TUL also accepts a bachelor's or master's diploma that states the language of instruction (a diploma supplement or confirming certificate is needed if the diploma does not say), a philology or applied linguistics degree with at least 500 instructional hours in English, a preparatory English course of at least nine months at an institution designated by the minister, an IB Diploma in the primary language, or a European Baccalaureate in L1 or L2.
For bachelor's programmes in English, the language requirements page adds an advanced English entrance exam with a pass mark of 60%. The qualification rules say a score of at least 60% in English at the advanced level, or at least 30% at the bilingual level, is needed. Mathematics is also compulsory, plus one further subject that depends on the programme.

Master's interview and checking your programme
For master's programmes taught in English, the qualification rules rank applicants on GPA and an interview marked out of 60. You need at least 31 points to qualify, including at least 7 of the 10 points available for English language proficiency. International applicants may be interviewed online and the interview is recorded.
So an IELTS certificate settles the B2 requirement, but it does not replace the interview or the bachelor's English exam. Keep your TRF ready for upload and read the qualification rules for your own programme.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your TUL programme page and in your offer, so check it there before you book a test.
Minimum vs competitive score
Where Lodz University of Technology publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.
Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.
If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
