All students applying for the Refugee Student Settlement Pathway in 2026 must take a Duolingo English Test. This is based on lessons from the 2025 intake. We want to ensure consistency and fairness in our selection process and make sure all students accepted into the program have the level of English required to study at a university level in Australia.
If you need to take a new Duolingo English Test, we will provide you with a coupon to take a test for free. If you have already taken a DET recently, you will be able to share your scores with us through your Duolingo portal. If you have already taken an IELTS or other English test you can also upload these test scores into your application (but you will still be required to take the DET).
All English testing in supplied for FREE to RSSP applicants. Do not purchase a test, we will provide you with test coupons.
