Country-level guidance for Germany

Scores run on the 10–160 scale; English-taught programs generally want 105–125. Acceptance is at the program level.

Admission is not the same as the visa

For German student-visa processing, English-language proof ties to the university's admissions decision rather than a nationally mandated test type. If your English-taught program admits you on a DET score, that admission generally supports the visa. German-taught programs need German proof separately.

Applying from Antigua and Barbuda

At about $70 the DET is taken online from Antigua and Barbuda — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. Antigua and Barbuda is English-medium; Duolingo English Test often waived where prior study was in English — confirm per university.

Credentials: Antigua and Barbuda National Accreditation Board; OECS / UWI for recognition
Funding to search: Chevening, Commonwealth Scholarships, OECS / UWI scholarships, Fulbright (Eastern Caribbean)
Where students go: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Jamaica, Barbados
