PTE score needed for universities in Australia
Australian universities set their own English entry scores, separate from the English levels the Department of Home Affairs uses for visas. Most publish a PTE Academic figure for each level of study, and many also set a minimum for each skill on top of the overall score. The student visa has its own English rule, covered in the guides below.
