If your Duolingo score is below 115

A score of 105 to 110 meets the IBBA and Bachelor Year 3 lines but not the master's lines. The pages list no conditional Duolingo band for the MiM or MSc.

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