English Test Requirements

In order to successfully study at the MIPLC, all students must have very good knowledge of the English language. One of the MIPLC admission requirements therefore is a very good result in one of the following tests taken within the last three years:

  • a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score in the 100-point range (internet-based), in the 250-point range (computer-based), or in the 600-point range (paper-based); or
  • an IELTS (International English Language Testing System; academic version) score of 7.0 or above; or
  • a minimum grade of "C" on the Cambridge CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English). Scores from other Cambridge tests, such as the Key English Test and the Certificate of Advanced English, will not be accepted.

The test requirement is waived for applicants who are either native speakers of English or have received their degree from an institution at which English is the language of instruction. In the latter case, please add a written confirmation from your university if you have studied in a country other than the UK, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

Applicants are responsible for making their own arrangements to take one of the tests. For more information, please refer to the following web pages:
