What TOEFL score do you need for the University of Bergen?

You must do both: add the University of Bergen as a score recipient using institution code 9367 so it can verify your result online, and upload a copy of the result in Søknadsweb. Test results must be valid and no more than two years old on the application deadline.

On the same page, IELTS Academic needs 6.5 overall with at least 6.5 in each component.

Bergen also lists non-test routes, such as the IB with English at Higher Level grade 4 or Standard Level grade 6, and some previous education in English-speaking countries.

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. Where the page gives only a 0 to 120 figure, that is what this guide reports.

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