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

Both programme pages say tests must have been taken within 2 years 5 months of the programme start date, and that you must meet the overall and subtest requirements in a single test. The undergraduate page adds that this applies to TOEFL MyBest too.

The post-January 2026 figures on these pages are printed on the 0 to 120 scale, and on the Space Science page with 1 to 6 subtest scores, so ask admissions how a new-format report will be read before you rely on it.

New TOEFL iBT score reports also carry a 1 to 6 score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see the new TOEFL score scale explained.

For comparison, the English Language and Linguistics MA page sets IELTS Academic at 6.5 with no subtests under 6.0, as does the Space Science page.

Glasgow's English language page points applicants who fall short to pre-sessional courses run by its English for Academic Study Unit, which are accredited by BALEAP. For a pre-sessional course below degree level, the same page says you need a UKVI-approved SELT (IELTS for UKVI or Trinity ISE for UKVI), so TOEFL will not cover that step.

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