Test rules and how to send your score
Both pages say that, if available, the original test should be sent directly to UNA. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a validity period.
On the same lists, IELTS is 5.5 for undergraduates and 6.00 for graduate study. So PTE 46 sits alongside IELTS 5.5 and PTE 54 alongside IELTS 6.0. Duolingo is 90 and 100.

If you fall short
Both pages say the language requirement can be met in two ways: a test score from a recognised agency or UNA's English as a Second Language Program. Neither page gives a PTE entry score for the ESL programme.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UNA programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
