🇯🇵 Japan → 🇩🇪 Germany · Mathematics & Statistics · 2026
Planning to study Mathematics & Statistics in Germany from Japan — perhaps as a mathematician or data analyst? 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.
English-taught programmes accept TOEFL for admission (commonly ~80–100 old-scale / ~4.0–5.5 new 1–6 scale; set per university). German-taught programmes require a German test instead.
Most German universities accept TOEFL for their English-taught programmes. 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 Mathematics & Statistics 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.
English-taught programmes need TOEFL/IELTS; Japanese applicants widely take the TOEFL iBT, and the Tobitate programme actively funds outbound study.
