From Mauritania — the essentials

Costs in: Mauritanian Ouguiya (UM)

Mauritania is Arabic- and French-speaking; France-bound applicants use Campus France; English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test. At about $70 the DET is taken online from Mauritania — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.

We have not yet verified Costa Rica-specific DET figures, so this corridor is honest general guidance and is not yet indexed. Confirm the requirement on the official page.
