| Postgraduate programmes | 91 | All international applicants, unless exempt |
Reykjavik University TOEFL test rules
The page does not set section minimums, a validity period or a MyBest rule. Reykjavik University first accepts scanned documents uploaded to the application form, but original copies must be submitted before you receive an unconditional offer.
For comparison, the same page asks for IELTS Academic 6.5 or above at both levels.
