Do German universities accept Duolingo English test?


German universities generally do not widely accept the Duolingo English Test for admission to degree programs taught in English. Most German universities require more established English proficiency tests such as:

- IELTS (International English Language Testing System)
- TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
- Cambridge English Qualifications

A few private universities or specific programs in Germany may consider Duolingo as part of their English language requirements, but this is still quite rare compared to countries like the USA or Canada.

What should you do?
- Always check the specific university and program website for their latest English language requirements.
- If you are considering applying to public universities in Germany, it is advisable to take IELTS or TOEFL.
- If you already have a Duolingo score, contact the admissions office of your chosen university to confirm if they will accept it.
