🇦🇺 Duolingo English Test for Australia — from Brunei
More than 90 Australian universities accept the DET for undergraduate and postgraduate programs, with acceptance growing.
What Australia asks for
Scores run on the 10–160 scale; program-specific requirements generally 95–125.
Admission is not the same as the visa
Australian universities increasingly accept the DET for admission, but the student-visa English requirement is nationality- and category-dependent: some applicants must provide a test taken at a physical centre, others are exempt. The DET is not a guaranteed standalone for the visa — check your visa category and nationality-specific rules.

Brunei is largely English-medium (bilingual with Malay), so Duolingo English Test is often waived where prior study was in English; government scholarships fund overseas study. At about $70 the DET is taken online from Brunei — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.
