If your chosen UK universities do not accept Duolingo English Test scores, you should consider other widely accepted English proficiency tests:

- IELTS Academic: Most UK universities accept this, usually requiring an overall score of 6.5 - 7.0.
- TOEFL iBT: Also accepted by many institutions, with minimum scores varying.
- PTE Academic: Recognized by numerous UK universities with different score requirements.
- Cambridge English Qualifications: Tests like C1 Advanced (CAE) or C2 Proficiency (CPE) are accepted by some universities.

English test requirements differ by university and program and are subject to change.

If you need help choosing the right test or understanding university requirements, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
