Stuttgart TOEFL test rules

INFOTECH says applications without accepted English proof by the deadline are rejected, and the certificate must still be valid on the deadline (15 January or 15 July). The Computer Science FAQ says you upload the TOEFL certificate like any other document; it cannot be sent by post, email or directly by ETS. Neither page mentions the Home Edition or MyBest scores.

For comparison, the INFOTECH page asks for IELTS Academic 7.0, and the Computer Science page gives IELTS Band 7.
