English test waiver

AUIS places applicants by English level. Full undergraduate entry to five credit classes requires an AUIS placement score of 90 to 99, TOEFL iBT 72, IELTS 6 or above, or Duolingo 120 to 160; slightly lower scores (TOEFL iBT 69 to 71, IELTS 5.5 or Duolingo 110 to 115) allow concurrent enrolment in two English classes and three degree classes, and lower scores lead to the Academic Preparatory Program. Duolingo results are reviewed by the admissions and APP departments. MBA applicants need TOEFL iBT 72 or IELTS 6.5, and AUIS graduates are exempt.
