Should I take IELTS or TOEFL to study in France?

As very professional language tests, IELTS and TOEFL are getting more and more recognition at home and abroad, so they may be of great help to your studies or future employment, but many people will wonder, do you only need to take IELTS and TOEFL to study abroad? After all, the exam is not free ... if you have got the exam results but have not studied abroad because of various circumstances, will those exam fees be wasted? Actually ... no, today we're going to talk about the benefits of taking IELTS and TOEFL.

It goes without saying that studying abroad requires IELTS and TOEFL. As we all know, let's talk about the advantages of not taking these exams abroad.

Academic aspects

Undergraduate period

Since 20 15, IELTS/TOEFL scores have been listed as one of the reference conditions in the process of independent enrollment by many universities. For example, China Communication University put forward in the enrollment brochure that year that "IELTS total score is 6.0" and can also enroll for independent enrollment.

In addition, many universities also encourage students to take international language tests, such as IELTS, at the undergraduate level. For example, Sichuan University reimburses part or even all of the examination fees for students participating in international joint training programs.

Postgraduate stage

If you can get an IELTS score of 6.0+ in the second exam, then the interviewer will definitely recognize your language ability more.

Many universities, such as Beijing Institute of Technology and China University of Science and Technology, stipulate that if you can achieve the required IELTS score, you can apply for an English test exemption at the postgraduate level.

Most importantly, when you can get the IELTS score required above, reading and studying foreign literature will be much smoother.

Doctoral stage

In the doctoral stage, due to reading a lot of foreign literature, the requirements for English will be by going up one flight of stairs, so many schools put forward certain requirements for doctoral students' English, including IELTS scores. For example, Sun Yat-sen University requires doctoral students to have an IELTS score of not less than 6.
