How Franklin treats Duolingo results

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.5 and TOEFL at 90.

If your Duolingo score is short
The requirement applies only to applicants whose primary language of instruction is not English. The pages do not describe a pathway route for undergraduates; the graduate page notes that Franklin offers optional Academic English courses to MAST students.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Franklin programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
