Country-level guidance for New Zealand

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.

Applying from Palestine

At about $70 the DET is taken online from Palestine — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS; AMIDEAST administers Fulbright and testing for Palestinian students.

Credentials: Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research
Funding to search: Fulbright (West Bank/Gaza), Chevening, Erasmus+, DAAD
Where students go: Jordan, Turkey, United States, Germany, United Kingdom
