University of Hull（赫尔大学）entry requirements for Chinese students — minimum average mark, university list tiers and programme extras
University of Hull（赫尔大学）sets out its China-specific entry requirements on its own admissions pages. For 2024 entry, undergraduate year-one entry from the Chinese system turns on either a gaokao score of 67%, a 77% huikao score, an 80% high school average, 80% at a secondary/vocational school, 75% for the first year of a junior college (大专), 70% for the first year of a bachelor's degree, or an IB score of 28–30. For taught master's study the published requirement is a UK 2:1 (equivalent to 75%) or 2:2 (70%), with an English requirement of IELTS 6.5.
That is the whole of the academic-threshold detail Hull publishes for Chinese qualifications in this set of materials. Several things readers assume are part of the answer are not stated there.
What the undergraduate numbers actually mean
The figures above sit in a single row of Hull's requirements table under year-one entry, which means they are alternatives, not a ladder — the sheet does not say that a higher number unlocks a better offer. It also does not say whether these are minimums or target offers, or whether a gaokao score is read as the overall score, the first-tier score, or a weighted combination across subjects. Anything beyond the numbers listed above, including subject requirements, is not set out in this material: check the university's own pages, which take precedence.
Foundation and pre-degree routes
Hull runs its Business, Law and Engineering foundation courses through its partner ONCAMPUS Hull. For the other foundation courses, Hull says it generally accepts: completion of Senior Secondary School Year 3 with a 60% average grade, and completion of Senior Secondary School Year 2 with a 70% average. The word the university uses is "generally," so these are the stated baseline rather than a guaranteed outcome. No English requirement is given for this route in the material.
The university list question
Many applicants arrive expecting a published list of accepted Chinese universities, sometimes organised into tiers. The Hull material available here does not contain such a list: no tier names, no tier thresholds, and no named Chinese universities are given, so nothing here assigns any institution to any tier. If a tiered list matters to your application decision, it has to come from a current Hull admissions page or an admissions enquiry — check the university's own pages, which take precedence, and confirm the entry year, since lists change.
Programme-specific extras
GMAT or GRE scores, portfolios, interviews and language sub-scores are common differentiators for taught master's applications. None are stated in this material for Hull's Chinese-entry requirements — the published row is academic requirement plus IELTS 6.5, and nothing more. Which programmes ask for a portfolio, a test score, or an interview is not covered by these figures, so check the university's own pages for each programme, which take precedence.
Study modes
The table sets out qualifications and grades, and says nothing about full-time versus part-time entry, or about whether any given master's programme is available in both modes. Mode availability is a per-programme question that this material does not answer — check the university's own pages, which take precedence.
Where to verify each figure
Every number above comes from Hull's published requirements for 2024 entry, not from an intermediary summary. Two dates matter for checking. The intake described here is the 2024 one; a current applicant is looking at a later set of thresholds. And university lists, if Hull publishes one, are revised independently of the grade thresholds. Re-read the requirements table and the specific programme page before you rely on any of this.
