KEDGE Duolingo minimums by MSc track
The same two levels appear on the admission tabs of the MSc Sport, MSc International Business, MSc Finance and MSc Marketing pages.
| Level or programme | Duolingo minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MSc short track (4+ years of higher education) | 105 | Entry after an M1, a four-year international bachelor's or 240 ECTS |
| MSc long track (3+ years of higher education) | 100 | Entry after a three-year bachelor's or 180 ECTS |
How KEDGE handles Duolingo scores
The MSc pages list Duolingo alongside TOEIC, TOEFL iBT, IELTS, Cambridge First and Advanced, PTE and Linguaskill. No subscore minimum is stated for Duolingo, and the pages do not set a validity period or a sending method for it.
KEDGE's general MSc application guide does not list Duolingo, so read the admission tab of the exact MSc you want.
For comparison, the MSc Sport page asks for IELTS 6 on the short track and IELTS 5.5 on the long track.

If your Duolingo score is below 105
If you hold a three-year bachelor's, the long track asks for 100 rather than 105. Applicants without the usual diplomas can ask about Validation of Personal and Professional Experience (VAPP), which the MSc pages describe as a route into the programme.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your KEDGE programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
