If your TOEFL score falls short

Graz also accepts a school-leaving certificate with English as the language of education from Great Britain, Ireland, America, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, a degree already completed in English, or completion of an Austrian Vorstudienlehrgang course at English C1 level.

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