PTE for Business & Management in the Netherlands from Philippines: the score you need

To study Business & Management in the Netherlands from Philippines, your PTE Academic score is one of the few parts of this fully in your control. Here's what you need, the route from Philippines, and where you can study.

Coming from the Philippines: healthcare migration, and which English test counts

Nursing and caregiving are the Philippines' strongest corridors abroad — but in Canada the test that counts for immigration differs from the one for study, so check before you book.

  • English test: for Express Entry, Canada accepts PTE Core — not PTE Academic. PTE Academic is for study.
  • Healthcare draws: Express Entry runs category-based draws that have included healthcare occupations — eligibility still depends on your full profile.
  • Registration: nursing is provincially regulated — check the specific provincial nursing regulator's language rules.

Honesty check: Real employers never charge you to 'guarantee' a visa or registration. Agencies that demand placement fees from the worker are a red flag.

The PTE score you need for the Netherlands

PTE Academic is accepted by many Dutch universities for their English-taught programmes (the Netherlands was an early mover in English-medium study), where the institution accepts it. For work, practising a regulated profession in the Netherlands generally requires Dutch-language proficiency and recognition of your qualifications rather than a PTE score.

Most universities in Netherlands that require an English test — typically for English-taught programmes — accept PTE Academic. Worldwide, PTE Academic is accepted by over 3,000 institutions across nearly 70 countries. Confirm the exact score your programme needs on its official admissions page.

Study, work and PR each set their own bar (study is usually the lowest, PR the highest). These figures change and are component-specific — confirm the live number on Dutch universities before you rely on it. Source: Dutch universities.
