🇳🇿 Duolingo English Test for New Zealand — from Turkey
New Zealand's universities recognise the DET for many undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
What New Zealand asks for
Scores run on the 10–160 scale; recognition is program-dependent, generally 105–125.
Admission is not the same as the visa
For New Zealand's fee-paying student visa (up to four years), separate English proof is generally not required if your institution has accepted you — including on a DET score. Confirm with the institution and current Immigration NZ rules.
From Turkey — the essentials
- Costs in
- Turkish Lira (₺)
- Credentials
- YÖK — Denklik (diploma equivalence)
- Funding to search
- YLSY (Turkish government), Erasmus+, Fulbright Turkey, Chevening
- Where students go
- Germany, United Kingdom, United States
- Apply from
- Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir
English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test 80+/IELTS 6.0–6.5; Turkish-taught need TÖMER. At about $70 the DET is taken online from Turkey — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.
