International students whose first language is not English must meet the Harvard University English language requirements for UG and PG admissions. The language requirements vary as per the school and programme type. Mentioned below are general Harvard University Duolingo requirements along with details on other test scores:

English Language Test	Minimum UG Score	Minimum PG Score
IELTS	6.5	7.5
TOEFL iBT	80	109
PTE	60	75
Duolingo	100	145

Note: Harvard undergraduate admission to the Class of 2025 is test optional and a lack of test results will not affect students’ chances of admission.
