Entry requirements
Undergraduate (Bachelors) degrees
We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting Gaokao scores for entry to first-year undergraduate courses.
We will consider applications from students who have already received their Gaokao scores, achieving a minimum of 80% across all subject areas. You can find out more by contacting admissions@le.ac.uk
If you are studying A-levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) then you can begin from the first year of a Bachelors degree. Please see individual course pages for entry requirements.
If you have already completed the first year of an undergraduate degree at a Chinese university, you may be considered for entry to the first year of a Bachelors degree if you have studied relevant subjects.
If you do not meet the entry requirements for one of our courses, you can apply for an International Foundation Year run by the Global Study Centre. The GSC provides academic support to help you progress to your chosen undergraduate degree at the University of Leicester.
Postgraduate (Masters) degrees
If you have completed a four-year Bachelors degree in China, you can be considered for entry to a Masters degree at Leicester. Our requirements depend on the rank of the university from which you graduated and your chosen Masters degree. The following is intended as a guide to our requirements:
If you have graduated from a 'top 200' university in China, you may be asked for 70% overall if you are applying for an Engineering or Science degree, or 75% for an Arts, Humanities, Law or Social Science degree. You may need to have scores of at least 80% in modules that are particularly relevant to your chosen Master’s degree. The School of Museum Studies requires at least 80% overall.
If you graduated from a Chinese university ranked below the top 200 you may require higher scores (80-85%).
If you have completed a three-year college diploma from a Chinese university, you will need to take an accepted one-year Pre-Masters course or upgrade your diploma to a Bachelor’s degree before applying for a Master’s degree.
PhDs and other research degrees
To apply for a PhD (or other postgraduate research qualification) you must have an undergraduate (Bachelors) degree with at least 75% overall, usually in a related subject area, from a recognised Chinese university (depending on the subject that you wish to study and the rank of the university from which you graduated).
You must also be able to demonstrate practical knowledge of appropriate research methodologies. Research degrees are demanding and intensive: to succeed at this level you must be highly motivated, be able to work independently, and have an appropriate familiarity with the discipline and its associated research techniques/methodologies.
Where a Masters degree is required, this is indicated in the relevant description on our Postgraduate Research webpages, together with further information about requirement.
