Test rules at TUS
The page gives TOEFL figures only on the 1 to 6 scale and does not state a 0 to 120 equivalent, so do not convert a pre-2026 score yourself; ask TUS how it treats older reports. It does not mention the Home Edition or an institution code.
On the same page, IELTS is 6.0 (no band lower than 5.5) for Year 1 and 6.5 (no band lower than 6.0, one band at 5.5 accepted) for masters.
