If your TOEFL score is below TU Eindhoven's level

TU/e says no other language tests are accepted beyond those listed, and it must be able to verify your result before the final application deadline. Book a retake early enough for the new score to arrive in time.

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