Yes, you are eligible to pursue a PhD abroad. With your completed Master's degree in Library Science and a Duolingo English Test score of 120, you meet the basic academic and language criteria for PhD programs in the UK, Sweden, and the Netherlands.

Requirements typically include:
- Master’s degree in a relevant field (which you have)
- English proficiency (your Duolingo score is generally accepted, but minimum scores and accepted tests may vary by university and country)

Admission criteria and accepted tests can change, so requirements are subject to change for each intake.
