TOEFL for Medicine & Health Sciences in Malaysia — from Lesotho

Planning to study Medicine & Health Sciences in Malaysia from Lesotho — 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.

The TOEFL score for Medicine & Health Sciences in Malaysia

Malaysian universities accept TOEFL for admission (commonly ~80–100 old-scale / ~4.0–5.5 new 1–6 scale; set per university).

Most universities in Malaysia 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.

Coming from Lesotho: funded study and which test the scholarship accepts

  • Named scholarships you may search: NMDS sponsorship, Chevening, Commonwealth Scholarships, France–South Africa Scholarship Programme — most accept TOEFL or IELTS, but confirm each programme's accepted tests.
  • TOEFL is widely accepted for university admission; for any visa or PR step, check that route separately (TOEFL is not accepted for Canada PR or UK visas).
