Do Canadian universities accept the Duolingo English Test?

2 Answers

Yes, many universities in Canada accept the DET as a valid alternative to IELTS or TOEFL! Schools such as the University of Calgary, Concordia University, and even some programs at the University of Toronto allow international students to use their Duolingo scores.

The DET is especially popular because it is affordable, can be taken online, and results are returned rapidly, which is helpful when you are on a tight timeline.

Each university has a required range of scores for its degree, usually between 115 to 125 for master programs, so check the individual score requirements of your applied program. However, even if IELTS/TOEFL is being accepted, there are various programs that are very aggressive and would like to ensure that the applicants have high scores in those tests or even prefer IELTS, so it's always okay to confirm this with your admissions office.

It depends on the requirements of the specific institution and program you are applying to study abroad. Some institutions and programs may require you to take an English proficiency test, even if English is the exclusive language of instruction at your current institution. This may be to ensure that you will be able to understand and participate in class discussions and complete coursework in English.

Other institutions and programs may not require an English proficiency test if you have studied English for a certain period of time. It's best to check the application requirements for the specific program you are interested in to see if an English proficiency test is required.

Whether or not a college or university requires an English proficiency test score can vary depending on the institution and the specific program you are applying to. Many universities or colleges may not require English proficiency test scores if you are a native speaker of English, have completed your undergraduate degree in an English-medium institution, or have completed a specific amount of time in education where English was the medium of instruction.

It's best to check the application requirements for the specific program you are interested in, if it is not mentioned on the university website, you may contact the admissions office for clarification regarding English proficiency requirements for your program.

Absolutely! The bar for studying abroad is not set by IELTS. There are many more tests that can be taken for university study abroad programmes. IELTS can be replaced by other English proficiency tests, such as the TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo, etc. Your application to study abroad does not need to include IELTS, therefore not all countries demand it.


If you don't want to take a language test, search for colleges that don't require one. Yes, there are a number of universities that don't require an IELTS score or, really, any score on a language test. The UK is the nation with the most universities falling under this category. Here is a list of UK universities that have waived this requirement:


UK

University of Bath


University of Manchester


King's College London


Cardiff University


University of Liverpool


Lancaster University


University of Strathclyde


University of Birmingham


University of East Anglia


Newcastle University London

Lastly, if your previous academic background was in English only and you received a respectably good grade in the language subject, certain colleges will also waive the English language exam requirement. For instance, if English was your primary subject up through class 12 and you had an easy 75%, and even if you are studying English exclusively for your bachelor's degree, you may be exempt from taking a language test. This point is dependent on your profile and the university to which you apply because criteria differ between institutions and depend heavily on the applicant's profile.

In my opinion, GMAT somehow seems necessary for a business program abroad. Especially for a country like the USA, where an MBA proves much more than a degree. However, there are some major institutes that do not require you to submit a GMAT score for MBA. Of course, they are less in number. These institutes are generally preferred by working graduates who do not want to put extra effort into going through a standardized test. And by far, the quality of education in any of the mentioned business schools are exceptional. In fact, even Kellogg offers an Executive MBA with no requirement of a GMAT score. Here are the 10 best business institutes that don't require a GMAT score for an MBA:

MBA - Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics
MBA - Kent State University
MBA - University of Illinois
MBA - University of Maryland, Baltimore
MBA in Financial Management - Lubin School of Business
One-year MBA - Hult International Business School
Full-time MBA - University of Washington (Foster)
Professional MBA - College of Business FIU
Executive MBA - Kellogg School of Management
Executive MBA - Marshall School of Business
Now, these institutes might not require a GMAT score but there are other requirements that you must fulfill like a bachelor GPA, IELTS/TOEFL Score etc.
