How Arden handles Duolingo scores
Upload your results and submit them through the Duolingo portal to Arden University. Arden lists a 2-year validity for Duolingo.
Arden says a student visa usually needs a SELT as evidence of English, and its table is aligned to UK government SELT requirements. Your student advisor can confirm which tests apply to you.
For comparison, the same page asks for IELTS 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in any element.
