English Language Proficiency
All TU Delft MSc programmes are taught in English. In order to be considered for an MSc programme, you must prove your English proficiency to be at a sufficient level.
The following English language certificates and corresponding scores are accepted*:
- A TOEFL iBT with an overall band score of at least 100 and a minimum score of 22 for each section. TU Delft does not accept TOEFL MyBest scores; the required scores should be obtained in one single test.
- An IELTS (academic version) with an overall Band score of at least 7.0 and a minimum of 6.5 for each section.
- A Cambridge Assessment English. Only the following certificates are accepted:
- C1 Advanced (Certificate of Advanced English) with an overall score of 185.
- C2 Proficiency (Certificate of Proficiency in English) with an overall score of 185
If Test Centres are temporarily closed or it is impossible for students to travel (for example in the case of lockdowns) TU Delft will accept the TOEFL iBT Home Edition Test for the 2023 intake, provided that you meet the above mentioned test scores. The IELTS Indicator test however cannot be accepted as it does not compare to the IELTS Academic test.
Note: We advise you to register for the test of your choice well in advance. Depending on your location, registering for a test could take several months.
