Roskilde University TOEFL test rules

The test cannot be more than two years old. Roskilde accepts the Special Home Edition of the TOEFL iBT and tests on both the old and new score scales, but not MyBest scores. You must upload documentation by the application deadline, or your application may be rejected.

For comparison, the same page asks for IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with 6.5 in Writing and Speaking, and does not accept IELTS Online or One Skill Retake.

If your TOEFL score is below Roskilde University's level

The page describes no conditional English route. A Danish upper secondary diploma with English at B level, or a qualifying European upper secondary education, can meet the requirement instead, as can a Roskilde bachelor's taught in Danish or English.

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