UE PTE minimums by programme type
From UE's admission requirements page.
| Programme or band | PTE overall | Minimum per skill |

| Other bachelor's and master's (B2) | No PTE figure given | None stated |
Test rules and how to send your score
The page does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson code. It lists "Pearson Test of English (General) Level 1" separately; that is a different test from PTE Academic, so make sure your certificate is the one you think it is.
On the same page, the MBA asks IELTS 6.0 (B2) and the dual study bachelor's asks IELTS 5.5, so PTE 59 sits beside both.

If you fall short
The page lists other routes, including Duolingo (105 for the MBA, 100 for dual study) and TOEFL iBT 72. It does not describe a conditional offer with a PTE entry point.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UE programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
