Yes, for most English-taught master's programs in the Netherlands, your daughter will need to take an English proficiency test such as IELTS or TOEFL. The GRE is generally not required.

Typical requirements:
- IELTS Academic: Overall 6.5, with no band below 6.0
- TOEFL iBT: Overall 90, with at least 21 in each section

GRE scores are usually not needed, but a few specialized programs may request them. Requirements may vary by university and are subject to change.

If you need help confirming the exact test requirements for her target programs, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
