Test rules and how to send your score
Both lists name "Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) taken in the test centre or online" at a minimum of 59. The page does not give a validity period, a Pearson sending code or any mention of PTE Core. The lists also include the Pearson English International Certificate (formerly PTE General) at Level 3, which is a different test from PTE Academic.
On the same page, IELTS is 5.5 and TOEFL iBT 72, so PTE 59 sits alongside those as the B2-level routes.

If you fall short
Both lists accept other proof, such as a degree from a programme taught in English with the language of instruction shown on the diploma or supplement. For EU/EFTA and UK citizens, the list also accepts a secondary school certificate showing English as the language of instruction and a University of Warsaw Foundation Year certificate at B2 or above. The page does not describe conditional admission.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your University of Warsaw 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.
