Is my English score in 12th standard important for admission in Netherlands for a Master's?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Smitha Satish S · 1 min read
Yes, your 12th standard English score is considered for admission to English-taught Master's programs in the Netherlands, as it can help show your English proficiency.
However, most universities also require a standardized English test like IELTS or TOEFL unless you meet specific exemptions (such as having a prior degree from a university in an English-speaking country). Your 12th standard English score alone usually isn't enough.
If you haven't taken an English test yet, you will likely need to do so to meet admission requirements.
