Test rules and how to send your score
The page does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core, gives no validity period and no Pearson code. You add your English exam results to the online application if you have already taken the test.
The PTE route has no section floor, while the master's IELTS route needs 6.0 in every section. Other options on the page are TOEFL iBT (60 or 79), Duolingo (115 or 125) and ISM's own English test (55 or 70).

If you fall short
Applicants whose previous education was entirely in English may be exempted by the admissions committee. Master's applicants can also ask for an exemption with six months of English-language Erasmus study, work or internship, as the page specifies. After the bachelor's interview, ISM may ask any applicant to take its English test.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your ISM programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
