Greetings! It’s excellent that you’re exploring options like the Duolingo English Test for your college applications. Many universities now accept Duolingo as a valid proof of English proficiency, which can be a more flexible and immediate alternative to TOEFL or IELTS.Â
However, the duration of university courses is not influenced by the type of English proficiency test you submit. Typically, the length of a degree program is predetermined by the academic structure of the university. For example, undergraduate programs usually last around three to four years, while postgraduate programs might range from one to two years, based on the discipline and educational system of the country.Â
Make sure to visit each university's official website or contact their admissions office for detailed information regarding their acceptance of the Duolingo test and the length of their programs. This will ensure that you have the most accurate and up-to-date information for your planning. Best wishes on your journey to studying abroad!
