Test rules at Swinburne Sarawak

The page says TOEFL iBT results should be within two years of the start of your studies. Students from Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland on study abroad or exchange may use approved tests taken up to five years before. The page gives no Home Edition, MyBest or institution code rules.

TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale. The page above gives only 0 to 120 figures, so that is what this guide reports.

On the same page, undergraduate entry is IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 6.0, and the MBA(I), MCMP and MIT ask for 6.5 with no band below 6.0.

If your TOEFL score falls short

The table itself shows the lower entry points: Foundation at 46 and the diploma at 40 lead into degree study. The page lists other accepted qualifications, such as PTE Academic, C1 Advanced and some school English grades, and asks you to contact the university for an assessment of your qualification.

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