Which IELTS test to practice
International applicants to Leiden University’s English-taught bachelor’s and master’s programs must prove their English, unless, for example, they completed their entire secondary or higher education in the USA, the UK or Australia. Leiden accepts IELTS Academic only, on paper or on computer, and does not accept IELTS General Training. Academic Reading uses journal and textbook passages, and Writing Task 1 describes a chart or diagram.
The score to aim for
There is no single university-wide band; each program sets its own minimum. Published minimums for some main programs:
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| Bachelor’s: International Studies, International Relations and Organisations, Psychology | 6.0 | 6.0 |
| Master’s: Computer Science, Global Political Economy, Applied Cognitive Psychology | 6.5 | 6.0 |
| European and International Business Law (Advanced LL.M.) | 7.0 | 6.0 in Listening and Reading, 6.5 in Speaking and Writing |
Your results may not be more than two years old.
Before you book the real test
