QUT PTE scores on two course pages
QUT publishes scores per course, not in one table. These come from the Master of Information Technology and Bachelor of Nursing course pages, international view.
| Programme or band | PTE overall | Minimum per skill |
|---|---|---|
| Master of Information Technology (IELTS 6.5, 6.0 each) | 59 | Listening 50, reading 50, writing 51, speaking 54 |
| Bachelor of Nursing (IELTS 7.0, writing 6.5) | 63 | Listening 58, reading 59, writing 60, speaking 76 |
PTE rules at QUT
QUT's agent advising page lists Pearson Test of English (PTE Academic) among the tests accepted for most courses, taken at a secure test centre and no more than two years before the start of the course. The course pages repeat the secure-centre and two-year rules. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online or PTE Core.
On the Master of Information Technology page, PTE 59 sits beside IELTS 6.5 with 6.0 in each band, so QUT's PTE level for that course is slightly higher than a simple 58 conversion.

If your PTE falls short
If you do not meet the English or academic requirement for your preferred course, QUT may offer a package that combines it with an English or pathway program through QUT College. Pass those and you move straight into the degree.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your QUT programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
