Huddersfield TOEFL test rules
Huddersfield does not accept the TOEFL Home Edition, and TOEFL scores are valid for two years. The page calls its tables general guidance: an offer with an English condition will state the level you must meet, and a research degree may ask for more than the table shows.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS Academic at 6.0 with no element below 5.5 as the standard requirement.
