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 Uganda

At about $70 the DET is taken online from Uganda — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. Higher education is English-medium; standard entry is IELTS 6.0 (no band below 5.5) or Duolingo English Test equivalent — often waived for English-medium study.

Credentials: NCHE (National Council for Higher Education); Uganda National Examinations Board
