IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING TOEFL TESTS DECEMBER 2025

Due to forthcoming changes in the TOEFL iBT English test, the University will not permit TOEFL tests taken from 21 January 2026 to be used to meet the English language requirement for graduate courses. The University will undertake a review of the revised test to determine whether it meets our requirements so it can decide whether to accept it in future. If you have already booked a TOEFL iBT test that will take place before 21 January 2026, the results will be accepted as normal. 

Please note that you do not need to meet the English requirement at the time of applying and any scores will not affect the academic assessment of your application. If you are offered a place on a graduate course and are required to demonstrate English proficiency, you will be given time to book a test to meet your English language offer condition.
