The language requirements for the CEMACUBE programme include one of the following test results:
-
IELTS (Academic) 6.5 – no less than 6.0 on each section
-
TOEFL iBT (internet-based test) 92 – no less than 21 on each section
-
TOEFL CBT (computer-based test) 237 – no less than 21 on each section
-
TOEFL PBT (paper-based test) 580 - no less than 55 on each section
-
Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English - CAE (Certificate of Advanced English)
Note that a copy of an authentic test certificate, no more than two years old, must be produced (after 2 years the most tests are no longer valid!). The TOEFL code of the Admission Office of the University of Groningen (coordinating university) is: 7191. If you use this code to send us your results, please do not forget to also add a copy of your test results to your application package (otherwise your application is considered to be incomplete!).
-->> If your official test results are not available before the application deadline, you can first send a screen shot of the unofficial online results with your application package. This will do till you have the official results on paper, however we do need the official results before January 31st 2012!
Exceptions:
Only two groups of students do not need to prove proficiency in English:
- Applicants that are a native English speaker and completed secondary education in any one of the following countries: Canada, USA, UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia
- Applicants that have completed their bachelor education in any one of the following countries: Canada, USA, UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia
PLEASE NOTE: We make no further exceptions to these rules. Students have to prove their proficiency in English if they do not meet either of the two requirements stated above.
In spite of the fact that the medium of instruction of many universities is English, we do require you to send proof of proficiency in English by means of sending us a test score report of one of the above mentioned tests. We are very strict with this rule as from previous experiences we have learned that English being the medium of instruction during a student’s previous education very often does not guarantee a sufficient command of the English language.
