University of Huddersfield（哈德斯菲尔德大学）entry requirements for Chinese students — minimum average mark, university list tiers and programme extras
If you hold a bachelor's degree from a Chinese institution and are weighing taught master's options at the University of Huddersfield (哈德斯菲尔德大学), the published 2023 requirements come down to one number and one English test. For domestic bachelor's degree holders applying to year-two undergraduate entry on the 2+2 route, the requirement is an average of 75% for applicants outside the 211/985 categories, or 70% for those inside them. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5.
Here is what the material states, and what it does not.
What the published table lists
| Background | Entry point listed | Academic requirement | English requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic high school | Undergraduate, year one | Pass all subjects in the academic proficiency exam with an average of at least 75%, plus the high school diploma | IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5 for direct entry to the main course |
| A-Level | Undergraduate, year one | BBB | IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5 for direct entry |
| Domestic university foundation year | Undergraduate, year one | Average of 75% | IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5 for direct entry |
| UK Foundation Programme | Undergraduate, year one | UK Universities IFY: 50% overall and 50% in English; Kaplan IFY: 50% overall and 60 in English with no score below 55; INTO: 50% overall and 50% in English | As listed for other undergraduate routes |
| Domestic junior college (大专) | Undergraduate, final year | Average of 75% | IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5 for direct entry |
| Domestic bachelor's degree | Undergraduate, year two, 2+2 | Average of 75% (non-211/985) or 70% (211/985) | IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5 for direct entry |
| UK bachelor's degree | Postgraduate | At least a 2:2 honours degree | Not applicable |
| Domestic master's foundation year | Postgraduate | Average of 75% | IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5 for direct entry |
| SQA HND | Undergraduate, final year | BCC or BC | IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5 for direct entry |
| BETC HND | Undergraduate, final year | Merit | IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5 for direct entry |
For every route where English is listed, the material adds the same fallback: if IELTS does not reach the direct-entry standard, a language course of a corresponding number of weeks can be added.
How the university list tiers work
The 75% and 70% thresholds are tied to the two domestic categories the material names, 211 and 985. The material does not enumerate the universities belonging to either category, and it does not say how many institutions sit in each. If you need to know which side of the threshold your own degree falls on, or whether a specific university is treated as 211 or 985 for this purpose, check the university's own pages, which take precedence.
What the material does not cover
Several things you will want before you apply are not stated here, and no number should be assumed for them.
Programme-specific extras such as GMAT or GRE scores, portfolio submissions, or interviews are not mentioned in this material. Application modes, including whether any part-time or distance-learning route is available, are also not addressed.
The direct bachelor's-to-postgraduate entry route for a domestic degree holder is not set out in this material. The table's domestic master's foundation row lists an average of 75% with IELTS 6.0 (no band below 5.5) for postgraduate entry through that route, but the material does not confirm direct admission on that basis.
Subject requirements, tuition fees, application deadlines, and credential recognition requirements for your specific degree are likewise not in this material.
Where to verify each figure
The figures above come from a single published requirements summary, and admissions rules change between intakes. Before you rely on any number:
- Open the university's official country or region pages for China on hud.ac.uk.
- Find the requirements entry for your own qualification type.
- Check the intake year shown on the page matches the year you are applying to.
- Look up the specific programme page for any additional entry requirement.
- Contact the admissions team directly if a figure on the page differs from what you have read elsewhere.
