If your TOEFL score is below Rotterdam UAS's level

For IELTS, the master's page allows up to two subscores 0.5 below the overall requirement and an extra interview for those who miss subscores, but it gives no equivalent rule for TOEFL. It also points students who do not meet the master's requirements to its Pre-master programme; check with the university whether that helps with English.

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