Test rules and how to submit your score

The master's table lists "PEARSON - PTE Academic" at an overall score of 59 or more. It also lists the Pearson English International Certificate (PEIC) at 59; that is a different Pearson test, not PTE Academic, so check which one you are booking. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core.

Once your certificate is registered and validated, the page says it stays valid as an entry requirement for the master's programme, but Politecnico di Milano does not accept certifications the issuing body considers expired. You upload the original certificate in the online services; if your test centre sends results to the university electronically, no original copy is needed. No Pearson institution code is given.

On the same table the IELTS level is 6, IELTS Academic or General Training. On the bachelor's page the list is TOEFL, TOEIC, Cambridge, IELTS 5, Trinity, British Institutes and the Oxford Test of English, with no PTE Academic.

If you fall short

Neither page describes a pre-sessional course or conditional offer for applicants below the score. Applicants who are citizens of the English-speaking countries the bachelor's page lists, or who hold at least a high school qualification taught in English, do not need to prove English for the Laurea.

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