Test rules and how to send your score

The International Business page says Pearson, IELTS and TOEFL certificates are valid for two years. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a sending method. On the same page, IELTS Academic needs 6.0 with no subscore below 5.5, so PTE 61 is the route without section floors.

The master's page automatically accepts only TOEFL, IELTS and Cambridge CPE or CAE, but says the admission committee may consider other tests case by case.

If you fall short

All applicants must show B2 English, and the diploma evaluation team first checks whether your previous education already meets it. A degree from the EU, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK or the USA taught entirely in English can be assessed as proof. The page describes no pre-sessional course with a PTE entry point.

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