Questions fréquentes

What PTE Academic score do nursing programs need in Australia?

Many nursing programs cite PTE 65 as a typical undergraduate baseline on PTE Academic, but competitive faculties often require higher overall and per-skill scores. The institution table is a shortlist—open each university's official page for your specific degree before applying.

Which universities offer nursing at PTE 65?

The table lists universities whose published notes or baselines align with this program family in our registry. Programs not listed may still accept your score—search by institution name or browse the full university directory if your target school is missing.

Are graduate and undergraduate minimums the same for this program?

Usually not. Nursing graduate and professional entry routes in Australia often publish higher PTE Academic thresholds than undergraduate pathways. Check both if you are considering a diploma-to-degree or direct-entry route.

Can I apply with a different English test?

Many institutions accept IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, and PTE Academic interchangeably for degree admission, but minimum scores differ by test. Confirm accepted tests and equivalent scores on each university's official page.

How should I plan a retake if I am below target?

Use the gap calculator on this page to identify your weakest section. For nursing programs, writing and speaking are the most common bottlenecks. Two to six weeks of focused section practice plus one full mock is a reasonable minimum before booking another official PTE Academic date.

Does meeting the English minimum guarantee admission?

No. English scores are one admission criterion among GPA, prerequisites, work experience, and intake capacity. Meeting the published language minimum makes you eligible to apply—it does not guarantee an offer.
