Exemptions and other tests
For the master's-level programmes, Audencia accepts an English-taught undergraduate programme or being a native speaker instead of a score. For the Bachelor in Management, secondary education taught in English or native speaker status does the same.
PTE does not appear on these pages. The Master in Management lists Duolingo 100 in its FAQ, and the MSc page names Duolingo as accepted without a score, so ask admissions for the MSc figure.

Which page to trust
Audencia sets scores per programme rather than school-wide, so the MSc you choose may ask for 6.0 or 6.5. Use the admission tab of that MSc.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Audencia programme page and in your offer, so check it there before you book a test.
Minimum vs competitive score
Where Audencia publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.
Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.
If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
