How TU Dublin handles Duolingo scores
The page lists Duolingo beside IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, LanguageCert and school qualifications in its minimum-level table, all marked as minimums that some programmes exceed. It gives no Duolingo-specific validity period or sending steps, so confirm both with admissions.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS Academic at 6.0 with no less than 6 in each component.

If your Duolingo score is below 120
Undergraduate applicants who studied their school-leaving exams through English, such as A-Levels, may meet the requirement without a test, the page says. TU Dublin also runs foundation programmes for international students, though the English page gives no Duolingo entry score for them.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your TU Dublin programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
