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.

The page does not describe a pathway route.

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