  • Those from countries where English is not a native language, although available as a language of instruction at all or some levels of schooling;
  • Those whose transcripts are not in English or are from schools in non-English speaking countries

For the TOEFL, our minimum cumulative score is 96 (IBT: no score lower than 24 in each of the four (4) sections).

 On the IELTS, we require a minimum score of Band 7.
