Step 5
Submit IELTS/ TOEFL certificate (only after paying the application fee and submitting the application)
In order to provide IELTS/TOEFL certificates, applicants should fulfill the following requirements:

IELTS/TOEFL certificates are considered without superscoring.
Take care when entering information regarding codes for test certificate submission via the Test Administrator or the Test Center. See below:
  • Code for IELTS: NU, Admissions Department
  • Code for TOEFL iBT: 6762
Detailed Instruction on the provision of IELTS/TOEFL certificates is available in applicants’ Personal account.
  • Minimum requirements for language test results are available in the “Entry examinations and requirements” section;
  • Tests taken remotely, not in the Test Center, such as IELTS Online, TOEFL iBT Home Edition and TOEFL PDT results are not considered in the competition;
