🇺🇬 Uganda → 🇮🇹 Italy · Medicine & Health Sciences · 2026
Planning to study Medicine & Health Sciences in Italy from Uganda — perhaps as a doctor, nurse or pharmacist? 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 (~80–100 old-scale / ~4.0–5.5 new 1–6 scale; set per university). Italian-taught programmes require an Italian-language test instead.
Most universities in Italy 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 Medicine & Health Sciences 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.
Higher education is English-medium; standard entry is IELTS 6.0 (no band below 5.5) or TOEFL equivalent — often waived for English-medium study.
