Degree-level student visas generally need around PTE 59, with minimums in each skill.

Even technical master\u2019s programmes usually want a realistic 62+ at these institutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"la-prose\">\n<p>If a Russell Group offer is your goal, plan for the higher end of the range and check the per-skill requirements early they\u2019re often the deciding factor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"sec-3\" class=\"sec\">\n<h2 class=\"h2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_UK_universities_set_per-skill_minimums\"><\/span>Do UK universities set per-skill minimums?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p>Yes many UK universities set minimum scores in each skill (Listening, Reading, Speaking, Writing), not just an overall. You can clear the overall figure and still miss an offer if one skill falls below the per-skill minimum, so check both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"callout info\">\n<div class=\"ct\"><strong>\u24d8<\/strong> Check the overall AND each skill<\/div>\n<p>A strong overall won\u2019t secure an offer if Writing or Speaking sits below the course\u2019s per-skill minimum.

The\u00a0student visa\u00a0for degree-level study generally needs around PTE 59 (with minimums in each skill), proving English at roughly CEFR B2.
