How IÉSEG treats Duolingo results
The pages list Duolingo in the application checklist next to IELTS, TOEFL iBT, TOEIC four skills and Cambridge. They do not state Duolingo subscores, a validity period or how to send results.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS (Academic for the master cycle) at 6.5, TOEFL iBT at 85, TOEIC four skills at 850 and Cambridge at B2.

If your Duolingo score is short
Both pages exempt native English speakers and candidates who have had two years of courses taught in English. Neither page describes a pathway or pre-sessional English route.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your IÉSEG programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
