TOEFL, IELTS or TOEIC Score Report

TOEFL: Test of English as a Foreign Language
IELTS: International English Language Testing System
TOEIC*: Test of English for International Communication

An official TOEFL or IELTS score is required of applicants whose native language is not English. (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA are considered as native English speaking countries.)
IELTS includes General Training and Academic Modules in the reading and writing sections. You should take the Academic Modules.
You may also submit an official TOEIC score certificate. However, we strongly recommend you to take a TOEFL or IELTS test.
The test score is valid as part of the application documents for admission if it was obtained within the two years prior to the time of enrollment. (Valid test dates are provided in the "Admission Schedules").
Please note that we accept only original score report(s) directly sent to us from ETS or the British Council (or an IELTS test center). IUJ’s institution code for TOEFL score reporting is 0712. Please make your test appointment early enough to allow your scores to be reported before our due date. Your TOEFL/IELTS/TOEIC test information must be indicated in your application form. Unless indicated, we will assume that you have not taken/will not take TOEFL/IELTS/TOEIC.
