English test waiver

Hanken sets different English bars for its bachelor's and master's levels and names only the tests it accepts. For the bachelor's programme a language test needs TOEFL iBT 78, including the Home Edition, IELTS Academic 6.0, including IELTS Online and UKVI, PTE Academic 54, Cambridge C1 Advanced at grade C, or C2 Proficiency at C1. Bachelor's applicants admitted on aptitude tests need no separate language test: SAT with at least 600 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, or ACT with at least 49 in English and Reading, covers it. For master's programmes the test route asks for TOEFL iBT 92 and IELTS Academic 6.5. Hanken accepts neither IELTS One Skill Retake nor TOEFL MyBest scores. A degree from an EU or EEA country, Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Switzerland, New Zealand or the United States can be accepted as proof instead of a test. ⚠️ Hanken's page lists more than one PTE figure in its master's section; confirm the PTE minimum for the specific master's route before booking that test.
