If you fall short

Exemptions include the GSU list or your country page, and for bachelor's, a bachelor's or master's taught in English in a Nordic country. Norwegian-taught programmes also need Norwegian, which is a separate requirement.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Agder 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.
