If you fall short

The master's page exempts applicants with a bachelor's or master's from a Dutch research university, an English-taught bachelor's from a Dutch university of applied sciences, or at least 24 ECTS of English-taught courses at a Dutch research university, plus degrees from listed English-speaking countries if taken on campus there. Bachelor's applicants may be exempt through English in certain secondary school diplomas. No conditional route is described.

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