The economics page accepts tests taken within two years before you apply and says online tests are not accepted from non-EEA applicants who need a visa or residence permit; EEA students may use online versions. The Media, Culture & Society page asks you to test at a centre. None of the pages mentions PTE Core or a Pearson code; Psychology asks for score reports to be included with the application.

If you fall short

Exemptions are listed per programme, for example a degree obtained in person in Australia, Canada (not Quebec), Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK or the USA. The economics page says a degree or IB taught in English elsewhere is not enough. Scores must meet the minimum before the application deadline.

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