Test rules and how to send your score
The page lists "Pearson PTE Academic (at a test centre): minimum score 61", so an online PTE result does not qualify. Certificates are valid for two years, and the test must have been taken less than two years before your programme's start date. The page gives no Pearson sending code and does not mention PTE Core.
On the same page, IELTS Academic at a test centre is 6.0, TOEFL iBT at a test centre 4.5 (80 before 21 January 2026) and LanguageCert Academic 65.

If you fall short
The page lists exemptions in a separate section. It does not describe a pathway or conditional route with a PTE entry point.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Zuyd programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
