The exam has to be taken by applicants who do not have an international IELTS (TOEFL) certificate or EHU graduates who want to improve their marks in a foreign language.
The EHU exam in English for application to Master’s degree studies consists of two parts – the online test, which includes the following 3 sections (80 points): reading, listening and lexical-grammatical section, as well as an oral interview in the Zoom application.
The test is based on the IT-based TOEFL principle. Successful completion of the entrance test requires the applicant to have proficiency in English at the Intermediate / Upper-Intermediate level. The test is graded automatically by the system. Immediately after the end of the test, the score will appear on the screen.
