If your PTE score falls short

For the listed bachelor's programmes, TU Graz says applicants who cannot show the required English level at application will be required in their letter of admission to take the Supplementary Examination in English at the University Preparation Programme Graz, before the bachelor's starts. A degree taught in English lasting at least two years in the listed countries also counts.

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