The university sets a TOEIC score level of at least 400 to recruit staff, but I seriously think it is too low for the academic environment. TOEIC was 775 (listening 455, reading 320) - 2007-04-21 TOEFL-ITP was 533 (listening 55, structure + written 47, reading 58) - 2009-12-12 IELTS was 6.0 (listening 5.5, reading 6.5, writing 5.5, speaking 6.5) - 2014-05-17 TOEIC was 900 (listening 470, reading 430) - 2016-05-16
