🇫🇷 Duolingo English Test for France — from Benin
More than 200 French institutions accept the DET, primarily for English-taught programs at business schools and universities.
What France asks for
Scores run on the 10–160 scale; English-taught programs generally want 105–120.
Admission is not the same as the visa
For English-taught programs in France, English proof generally ties to the program's admission decision. French-taught programs require French-language proof separately. Check your specific program and current French student-visa rules.
