Test rules and how to send your score
Any proof of English must be valid on enrolment. The validity date on a certificate cannot be exceeded; if no date is shown, the certificate can be no older than four academic years, counting from the academic year after it was obtained. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core and gives no Pearson code. The institution code it gives (2643) is for TOEFL only.
Postgraduate courses and doctoral training default to B2 English unless specific requirements are listed. Erasmus Mundus programmes set their own rules.

If you fall short
Ghent lists other B2 proofs, such as a B2 certificate from a university language centre or the Ghent University Language Centre's own final test certificates. In some cases you may be exempt from the language requirement. No pre-sessional route with a PTE entry point is described.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Ghent University programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
