Is it possible to apply for a student visa to Australia with my PTE score of around 53 for a Master's?

Yes, you can apply for an Australian student visa (Subclass 500) with a PTE score of 53. This meets the current minimum visa requirement of an overall score of 47, with no section below 36.
However, many universities and master's programs may require a higher PTE score for admission - often between 50 and 64, depending on the course and institution. If your score is below a university's requirement, you may need to complete an English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) program before starting your degree.
To proceed, confirm the specific PTE requirements for your target university and program with your LeapScholar counsellor.
