English-Taught Programs

The university’s 2027 admission guides generally specify the following English proficiency requirements:

• IELTS: 6.0
• TOEFL iBT: 80
• Duolingo English Test: 105

Applicants whose previous degree was taught entirely in English may submit an official English-medium instruction certificate for consideration. Any exemption remains subject to university approval.

Chinese-Taught Programs

The university’s general 2027 Master’s and PhD admission guides specify HSK Level 5 with a minimum score of 210 for Chinese-taught programs.

Applicants who obtained a previous degree from a Chinese university where Chinese was the language of instruction may be eligible to submit official proof of Chinese-medium instruction instead of an HSK certificate, subject to university approval.
