Accepted Language Tests and Diplomas
There are specific language requirements at the College of Europe, Bruges campus and Natolin campus.
We prefer students to obtain external language certificates. All international language certificates are accepted as long as they indicate the Council of Europe's levels.
Students may, if not in possession of a language certificate, also supply a university certificate or a recommendation letter written by a language professor or teacher referring to the applicant's language levels in relation to the Council of Europe levels.
The College of Europe can recommend the following international language tests:
English
- IELTS - more details | CEFR - IELTS & Cambridge ESOL table
- University of Cambridge
- TOEFL website | more details
We accept TOEFL certificates as long as students show that the level corresponds to the College requirements for the programme being applied for.
Please note that if your TOEFL/IELTS qualification runs out before you begin at the College in September, you do not have to retake the test if the expiry date falls within a reasonable period which would allow you to be considered as an applicant.
