In response to testing centers closing due to the Coronavirus Outbreak, Tel Aviv University has temporarily approved the use of the Duolingo English Test (DET), replacing the TOEFL and IELTS proficiency exams. Duolingo English tests taken between January and September 2020 will be accepted for fall 2020 admission. A minimum score of 105 is required.
Transfer credits
Students who have credits from other higher education establishments may be able to transfer credit towards their degree. In order to be eligible, the credits must be relevant to the Liberal Arts curriculum. In addition, only courses with a grade B (82%) or above will be considered. A maximum of 80 credits (2 years of study) can be accepted.
It is also possible to receive credit for relevant I.B. (at grade 5+) and A.P. (4+) classes.
Transfer credits will typically result in students being exempted from relevant classes at TAU.
