Country-level guidance for United Kingdom
Scores run on the 10–160 scale; most UK universities want 110–125 for taught programs, and some set minimum subscores.
Admission is not the same as the visa
Important: the DET is accepted for UK university ADMISSION but is NOT on the UK Home Office's approved Secure English Language Test (SELT) list, so it cannot serve as a standalone SELT for the student visa. Many universities (especially post-1992) assess English internally and issue a CAS that enables the visa without a separate SELT — if a university says its DET offer 'covers visa requirements', confirm that in writing with admissions. For most students, IELTS for UKVI remains the standard visa route.
Applying from Oman
At about $70 the DET is taken online from Oman — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS; MoHERI external scholarships fund study in the UK, US, Australia and Malaysia.
