What IELTS score do you need for Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ)?

For undergraduates, TUJ does not accept IELTS Indicator, IELTS One Skill Retake, TOEFL iBT Home Edition or TOEFL MyBest scores. The test must be taken no earlier than two years before you apply. TOEFL ITP 550 counts only if TUJ ran the test.

A test may be waived if you have 15 or more college credits from a US-accredited institution including English Composition at C or above, three or more years in a curriculum taught only in English, or an SAT or ACT score, though TUJ says a score may still be required. The LLM waives the test for a degree from an English-speaking institution.

The Bridge Program in Tokyo and Kyoto is a one-year conditional route in three levels: Bridge 1 from IELTS 5.0 and Bridges 2 and 3 from 5.5. A new qualifying score can let you start your degree early. Applicants below Bridge level can study in the Academic English Program.

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