Yes, most universities in the Netherlands require proof of English language proficiency - typically IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, Cambridge English (C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency), Pearson PTE Academic, or LanguageCert Academic - for admission to English-taught programs.

- Minimum scores and accepted tests vary by university and program.
- Some universities may offer exemptions if your previous education was in certain English-speaking countries.

Requirements and accepted tests are subject to change. For specific guidance on your target university, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
