English language requirements for foreign exchange students

Avans has set minimum language requirements for foreign exchange students. This helps us maintain high standards of English language skills in our international classrooms and ensures we comply with Dutch national guidelines. As a student, it is your responsibility to ensure that you satisfy these requirements.

Requirements for foreign exchange students

We need a recent statement (no older than 2 years) of working knowledge of the English language. We only accept the below certificates:

online English Placement test results (Erasmus+ students only)
a valid official IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge certificate

Note: for the Avans exchange program taught in English, the minimum English language prerequisite is an academic IELTS test, or an equivalent mentioned above, with an overall band score of at least 6.0 and a pass in 'speaking and writing' and 'listening and reading'.

Note: TOEFL Home edition will not be accepted.

Alternatively, you can download our statement and have it completed by an authorised representative of your current school.
