What IELTS score do you need for NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences?

Exceptions can be made if your preparatory education was in a country where English is the only official educational language. A diploma from a European institution on NHL Stenden's list with English in the final exams, GCSE O and A/AS levels with sufficient scores, the European Baccalaureate, the IB Diploma or an IB Career-related Programme taught fully in English also exempt you.

Only certificates from public test programmes count, not institutional ones, and IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, LanguageCert and PTE results more than two years old at the start of your studies are refused. Duolingo is not on the list.

If you fall short, NHL Stenden offers an English language course you can take before your bachelor's or master's starts. Master's applicants apply through Studielink with a relevant bachelor's at NLQF 6 / EQF 6 level, a motivation letter and a CV, and an interview may form part of the procedure. Non-EU bachelor's students must submit their graduation statement before the visa deadline of 1 July for September or 1 December for February.

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