Rhine-Waal PTE Academic scores by level
From the university's accepted English language proofs sheet, its guide for international applicants (English-taught degrees need a B2 certificate) and the master's degrees page, which gives the level for each English-taught master's.
| Programme or band | PTE overall | Minimum per skill |
|---|---|---|
| B2: English-taught bachelor's and most master's (e.g. Mechanical Engineering, Information Engineering and Computer Science, Economics and Finance) | 59 to 75 | Not stated |
| C1: Usability Engineering, M.Sc. | 76 to 84 | Not stated |
Test rules and the IELTS comparison
The proofs sheet names Pearson PTE Academic only. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or how to send scores, so upload the score report with your application and ask the university if it needs anything else.
On the same sheet, IELTS Academic 5.5 sits in the B2 column next to PTE 59 to 75, and IELTS Academic 7.0 sits in the C1 column next to PTE 76 to 84.

If your PTE score falls short
The sheet also accepts other proofs, such as a secondary school diploma or a completed degree from the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and a few Caribbean states. The pages we read do not describe an English pathway course with a PTE entry score.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Rhine-Waal programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
