How Bath Spa handles Duolingo scores

For comparison, the same page pairs Duolingo 110 with IELTS 6.0 and 5.5 in each element.

If your Duolingo score is below the line
Bath Spa runs Pre-Sessional English courses before your degree, but entry to them needs a Home Office approved SELT: IELTS for UKVI or Trinity College London ISE. A Duolingo result does not get you onto the pre-sessional.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Bath Spa programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
