🇮🇪 Duolingo English Test for Ireland — from Brunei

Ireland has near-universal acceptance — 15 of its 18 universities recognise the DET, and it is officially accepted by Irish student visa authorities.

What Ireland asks for

Scores run on the 10–160 scale; requirements vary by university and program, generally 105–125.

Admission is not the same as the visa

Ireland is one of the most DET-friendly destinations: the test is officially recognised by Irish student visa authorities, so it works for both admission AND the student visa — simpler than the UK.

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.
