What IELTS score do you need for the University of Sharjah?

The FAQs list four accepted tests for bachelor's applicants: institutional (paper-based) TOEFL taken at the University of Sharjah or AMIDEAST in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, Academic IELTS, TOEFL iBT and PTE Academic. Results are valid for two years from the test date and must be approved by the university's Language Institute. Certificates older than two years are not accepted.

For master's study, native English speakers who studied in a country where English is official are exempt, as are graduates of a university where English was the main language of instruction, if they met that university's English requirement. The university does not accept home editions or other online home-based English tests. Students in the five named programmes who do not meet the English rule by the end of their first semester cannot continue.

Bachelor's students who do not reach the required score on an accepted test are enrolled in an Intensive English Program, placed by their test result, and the university may ask for an interview or a further in-house test. The application fee is AED 360 and admitted students pay an AED 12,000 seat reservation fee.

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