English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS; Syrian higher education is largely Arabic-medium, so an English test is a standard step for study abroad. At about $70 the DET is taken online from Syria — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.

We have not yet verified Philippines-specific DET figures, so this corridor is honest general guidance and is not yet indexed. Confirm the requirement on the official page.
