🇧🇧 Barbados → 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia · Architecture & Design · 2026
Planning to study Architecture & Design in Saudi Arabia from Barbados — perhaps as an architect or designer? Here's the TOEFL you'll need, the score range universities there look for, and how to confirm it on the new 1.0–6.0 scale.
Saudi universities accept TOEFL for admission, especially international and English-taught programmes (set per institution — no fixed national figure).
Most universities in Saudi Arabia accept TOEFL for admission where an English-language test is required. Globally, TOEFL iBT is accepted by more than 13,000 universities and institutions across over 160 countries. Confirm the exact score your programme needs on its official admissions page.
Your overall TOEFL score is now the AVERAGE of the four sections (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing), each scored 1.0–6.0 in half-band steps — not the old 0–120 sum. The scale is CEFR-aligned.
The Architecture & Design requirement is set per programme (postgraduate often higher) — confirm the current figure on the university's official page. Many universities and visa authorities are still updating their thresholds during the 2026–2028 transition — confirm the current figure (and which scale, new 1–6 or old 0–120) on the official source before you rely on it.
Barbados is English-medium; TOEFL often waived where prior study was in English — confirm per university.
