Corvinus test rules

The bachelor's deadline for English proof is 1 August. Native English speakers make a declaration on the admissions platform. Listing English as the language of instruction is not enough for an exemption: you need official documents showing all exams, including final high school exams, were taken in English.

The page sets no Duolingo subscores and gives no sending instructions.

For comparison, the same page asks for IELTS 6.0 where it asks for Duolingo 100.

If your Duolingo score is below 100

Corvinus also accepts an internationally recognised preparatory programme, naming INTO, Study Group, Kaplan, Navitas and the Corvinus Preparatory Programme, with B2 certified by the provider.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Corvinus programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
