🇪🇸 Duolingo English Test for Spain — from Palestine

Spanish private universities and business schools, including IE University, accept the DET for English-taught programs.

What Spain asks for

Scores run on the 10–160 scale; English-taught programs generally want 100–115.

Admission is not the same as the visa

For English-taught Spanish programs, English proof ties to admission. Confirm current Spanish student-visa rules for your nationality.

From Palestine — the essentials

Costs in: Israeli New Shekel (₪) / Jordanian Dinar (JOD)
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
Apply from: Ramallah, Gaza, Nablus, Hebron

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