If your TOEFL score is below St Mary's level
St Mary's runs a pre-sessional course to help you reach its English requirement. The overview page does not give a TOEFL entry level for it. Courses with higher IELTS levels, such as Nutrition BSc, Physiotherapy and Sports Journalism MA, have no separate TOEFL figure on the page.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your St Mary's programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
