Test rules and how to send your score
For the CEMS MSc, the language certificate sits alongside an in-house written exam and an oral exam. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, score validity or a Pearson code.
The same CEMS list asks IELTS 7.0 or TOEFL iBT 100. Bachelor's proof must be submitted by 1 August and PTE is not one of the bachelor's options.

If you fall short
For the CEMS MSc, a bachelor's taught entirely in English in a majority English-speaking country, at an AACSB or EQUIS-accredited university, or at a CEMS member university exempts you. For bachelor's study, use IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge, Duolingo or a recognised preparatory programme instead of PTE.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Corvinus programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
