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

Salford lists Pearson Test of English (PTE Academic UKVI) among the SELTs it accepts for entry, depending on the level measured through IELTS, and the plain PTE Academic at 59 with 59 in each skill among equivalent qualifications. Both entries say online versions are not accepted. The page notes that Student route applicants may need a SELT rather than another qualification because of visa requirements.

For comparison, the page asks IELTS 6.0 (5.5) for postgraduate taught courses and IELTS 6.5 (6.0) for postgraduate research. It gives no Pearson institution code.

Salford runs pre-sessional English courses. Its International Foundation Year asks IELTS for UKVI 4.5 with 4.0 in each component, so check the SELT table for the PTE Academic UKVI level if you are starting below degree level.

For a Student visa, gov.uk asks for English at CEFR B2 for study at degree level or above and B1 below degree level, and says a university can assess degree-level applicants' English itself and may ask for a different test (gov.uk).

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