Test rules and the IELTS comparison
The pages ask for upper-intermediate English and an English language certificate or equivalent document. They do not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or how to send PTE scores.
The same health sciences pages list IELTS 5.5, TOEFL 50+, Duolingo 85+ and Cambridge 162+ next to PTE 51+, for example on the Physiotherapy page.

If your PTE score falls short
Health sciences applicants also sit an oral entrance examination, held online via Zoom. For Medicine, the written exam covers General English and Biomedical English, and the interview includes an oral examination, so a PTE score is not part of that route.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Semmelweis programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
