Tübingen TOEFL test rules

The Population-Based Medicine page accepts TOEFL, TOEFL iBT and the TOEFL Home Edition at 79, or an equivalent ETS exam with a corresponding score. The Machine Learning page names only the TOEFL iBT. Neither page mentions MyBest scores, score validity or an institution code.

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 Machine Learning page asks for IELTS 7.0 overall and the Population-Based Medicine page for IELTS Academic 6.5.

If your TOEFL score is below Tübingen's level

The program pages list alternatives to a test: a German Abitur with enough years of English, a university entrance qualification from the UK, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand (Machine Learning), or an IB Diploma taught in English (Population-Based Medicine). Neither page describes conditional admission.

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