How Hasselt University treats Duolingo results
The English certificate is a must-have document uploaded with the online application. The page does not state a validity period, subscores or how to send Duolingo results. The Master Mind Scholarship has its own, higher English requirement and does not name Duolingo.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS Academic at 6.5 overall for all three programmes that accept Duolingo.
