🇫🇷 Duolingo English Test for France — from Sri Lanka
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.
From Sri Lanka — the essentials
- Credentials
- UGC (University Grants Commission of Sri Lanka) — NOT Pakistan's HEC
- Funding to search
- Chevening, Commonwealth, Australia Awards
Most need IELTS; some accept MOI. Nursing registration is a separate step. At about $70 the DET is taken online from Sri Lanka — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.
