Taking TOEFL IBT at EMU
The TOEFL IBT exam is used by EMU and many universities internationally as a measure of English Language Proficiency. At EMU:
80 on TOEFL IBT exempts postgraduate students from the compulsory postgraduate courses.
74-79 on TOEFL IBT exempts postgraduate students from the compulsory first semester postgraduate English course, ENGL 513.
TOEFL IBT may secure your entry for a course of further study at many institutions, particularly in the USA. And of course, it will also give you a good idea of your real level of English and how much you may need to improve your language skills.
