Wageningen TOEFL test rules

IELTS, TOEFL and PTE results expire after 24 months, so the test should be taken no longer than 24 months before the day you apply. The MSc page says the required scores must be obtained in one single test. The pages do not give an ETS institution code.

For comparison, the bachelor's page asks for IELTS Academic 6.0 with 6.0 in Speaking, and the MSc page for 6.5 with 6.0 in Speaking.

If your TOEFL score is below Wageningen's level

The bachelor's page lists international secondary diplomas with English as an exam subject that may exempt you, and both pages list general exemptions. The MSc page advises booking a test early because dates fill and results take time.

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.
