Test rules and how to send your score

The page writes the requirement as "minimum PTE-A", meaning PTE Academic. It does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core, does not give a validity period and gives no Pearson code. The admissions team on your campus explains how to submit documents during your one-to-one assessment.

Because one PTE figure covers both IELTS 6.0 and IELTS 6.5 programmes, PTE is the lighter route for master's and MBA applicants on these lists. The BA (Hons) programmes and the DBA list IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge but not PTE; for one BA (Hons), the page asks you to contact the Barcelona admissions team about other tests.

If you fall short

The English Foundation programme is the stated route for students below the degree level: it takes PTE-A 40 or IELTS 5.0, and you must also meet the academic requirements of the bachelor's, master's or MBA you plan to move on to. Native speakers of English, or equivalent, are listed as meeting the requirement without a test score.

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