University English requirements

What PTE score do you need for the University of Manitoba?

The University of Manitoba asks undergraduate applicants for a Pearson Test of English score of 58, and the Faculty of Graduate Studies asks PTE Academic 61 overall. Neither page sets per-skill PTE minimums. Results expire two years from the test date and must still be valid at the start of your admission term, so time your test with the intake.

Test rules and how to send your score

The undergraduate page says language test results expire two years from the test date and must be valid at the start of your admission term. The graduate page says test scores older than two years are invalid in all cases. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or how to send PTE results.

On the undergraduate page IELTS Academic needs 6.5 with 6.0 in each module, and IELTS One Skill Retake results are accepted. Some programmes set higher scores in the applicant information bulletin, and the Duolingo test is not accepted for Law or the IDDP programme.

If you fall short

Both pages accept a pass at Level 5 of the Intensive Academic English Program (IAEP/AEPUCE) at the English Language Centre. Graduate applicants admitted to IAEP Level 5 can be admitted conditionally but must finish it before starting their master's. The pages do not give a PTE entry score for IAEP.

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