Test rules and how to send your score

The undergraduate page lists PTE Academic (59 or above) as acceptable evidence of English. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, score validity or a Pearson code. Ask admissions how they want the score report before you send it.

On the same list: IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 87, and the Duolingo English Test at 125 with no subscore below 115. The graduate page asks IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 87 among other routes.

If you fall short

If none of the listed evidence is available, undergraduates take the English Placement Test run by the College. Graduate applicants who take that test are placed into the English for Academic Purposes Program or Writing Program before being accepted to graduate study.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your ACG programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
