How ICN treats Duolingo results

Year 1 of the French or bilingual Bachelor needs no English test. The pages do not state Duolingo subscores, a validity period or how to send results; questions go to international.admissions@icn-artem.com.

For comparison, the international admissions page sets IELTS 6 for English-taught programmes and IELTS 5 for French or bilingual master's tracks, while the undergraduate page gives IELTS 6.5 for the IBBA.

If your Duolingo score is short

Native English speakers are exempt from the English test. The pages do not describe a pathway or pre-sessional route for applicants below the minimum. The range on the undergraduate page means the exact IBBA figure may depend on the intake, so confirm it before you test.

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