EM Normandie test rules
The pages give a single Duolingo figure per programme, with no subscores, validity period or sending instructions.
The MSc page also accepts proof that English was your language of study or work for at least a year.
For comparison, the Master in Management page asks for IELTS 6 where it asks for Duolingo 115, and the IBBA page asks for IELTS 5.5 against Duolingo 105.

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.
