How MBS handles Duolingo scores
The Master in Management page asks for an official English test score less than two years old. The Bachelor page says that if you do not provide an IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, Duolingo or Cambridge score under two years old, MBS sends you a link to its own English test. No Duolingo subscores are stated, and the pages give no sending instructions.
For comparison, the same Master in Management page asks IELTS 5.5 for year 1 and IELTS 6.0 for year 2.

If you have no Duolingo score or fall short
Both pages offer the free MBS English Test by Méréos instead of an outside score: 85 is the year 1 Master in Management level and 95 the year 2 level. The Bachelor bilingual track sets no English minimum for year 1 entry.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Montpellier Business School programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
