Can I use Duolingo instead of IELTS for admission to Irish universities?
04 Jun 2026 · Answered by Shairal Pathak · 1 min read
Many Irish universities accept the Duolingo English Test for admission, but it is not accepted for your student visa application. You'll need to take another test like IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE for your visa, even if you use Duolingo to apply to universities.
