If your PTE score falls short
The page points to Foundation English entry routes in a separate tab and gives no PTE entry point for them.
For the Student visa itself, gov.uk asks for English equivalent to CEFR B2 at degree level or above and B1 below degree level, and says a university can assess degree-level applicants' English itself. Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Liverpool Hope programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
