Sheffield Hallam TOEFL test rules
Sheffield Hallam accepts TOEFL iBT, including the TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition, for degree-level courses and above. For courses at NFQ level 5 and below, you need a UKVI-approved SELT, so TOEFL does not apply there. The level you need is the IELTS score on your course page.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 with 5.5 in each skill for the first level.
