Test rules and how to send your score
Tests must be verifiable; the page warns that results are removed from providers' databases after some time, and if UiT cannot verify an old test you will need a new one. The page does not set a fixed PTE age limit, does not mention PTE Core and gives no Pearson code.
On the same page, IELTS Academic needs 6.5 and IELTS Online is not accepted, so PTE Academic Online is one of the few remote options UiT takes alongside TOEFL iBT Home Edition (85, or 4.5 on the new scale).

If you fall short
UiT offers no preparatory English courses and does not describe a conditional route. Bachelor-level and one-year programmes follow the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills requirements instead.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UiT programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
Pearson has discontinued PTE Academic Online for new bookings, so plan on a test-centre PTE Academic sitting even where this page still lists the online version. See can you take PTE at home.
