How the numbers were made

Methodology

Each row comes from a BandLadder university guide, written from the university's own admissions pages and dated (the newest check is 10 October 2026). When the site builds, a script reads the score tables in each guide. A number is kept only when a cell for IELTS Academic, PTE Academic or TOEFL iBT, at a level the table names (undergraduate or postgraduate), starts with a valid overall score, and the same number is also written in the guide's text.

Where a guide lists several courses at one level, the table shows the lowest overall score it gives. Pathway, foundation, pre-sessional, conditional and "recommended" scores are left out, as are equivalence tables. Anything that does not pass these checks shows as see guide: we do not estimate. TOEFL figures are on the 0–120 scale; scores on the new 1–6 scale are not included.

Most courses set their own score above the university minimum, and requirements change between intakes. The score that binds you is the one on your course page and offer letter.

Coverage: an IELTS minimum for 483 of 640 universities (75%): 397 undergraduate, 448 postgraduate.
