Language requirement

A language test is not required from applicants, who have already obtained the right for doctoral studies at one of the universities within TUCS community. In addition, applicants, who have conducted their secondary education or two-year Master’s Degree Programme in the EU, the U.S.A, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or South- Africa, are also waived from the English language test. A language test is required from all other applicants.

The accepted language tests are TOEFL and IELTS, and the test score must come directly from the testing centre. The minimum test scores:
IELTS: Average 6.5; no individual scores below 5.5.
TOEFL: 575 points (paper based total) or 232 points (computer based total) or 90 points (iBT total).

If you've been waived from the language test based on secondary education in the EU, the U.S.A, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or South-Africa, you must enclose your secondary education certificate.
