Test rules and how to send your score

PTE Academic Online and PTE Academic UKVI are both named as accepted. PTE Core is not. Hanken accepts tests no older than two years. In the main admission round, the test must be completed before the application period ends and stay valid until 30 days after you apply; in rolling master's admission it must be valid from the day you apply through processing.

To share a PTE result, log in to your PTE account and send it to Hanken, then upload a copy or screenshot in your application. Hanken says it will not verify a result you have not uploaded. It does not accept IELTS One Skill Retake or TOEFL MyBest scores; no similar rule is stated for PTE.

If you fall short

Hanken also accepts some aptitude tests as proof of English (SAT or ACT for the bachelor's; GMAT or GRE for master's and PhD), and an English-taught degree from a listed country. For the PhD, language skills can also be assessed in the interview on a pass or fail basis.

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

Pearson has discontinued PTE Academic Online for new bookings, so plan on a test-centre PTE Academic sitting even where this page still lists the online version. See can you take PTE at home.
