For admission onto the first year of an undergraduate bachelors degree course we generally accept the following qualifications and grades:

香港中學文憑 (Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE)) with a minimum grade of 5, 4, 4
International Baccalaureate Diploma with a range of 28 – 30

We also accept students who have completed a US high school curriculum.

We sometimes require subject specific grades, we will advise you of this in your offer letter.

If you do not hold one of the qualifications above, we still encourage you to submit an application. All applications will be reviewed on an individual basis.

If you wish to study with us starting from the second or final year, we are happy to consider applicants who have completed equivalent prior study. These applications are considered on a case-by-case basis.

If you have questions about these requirements or have studied a qualification or foundation programme not listed here, please email global@hull.ac.uk.

If your first language is not English, or you require a student visa to study, you will be required to provide evidence of your English language proficiency level. Find out more.

Postgraduate Taught

The majority of our taught Masters programmes require that you hold a qualification equivalent to a lower second-class Bachelor Honours (or 2.2). Please check our course pages for specific entry requirements.

We generally accept Bachelor Honours degree or Bachelor degree in medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine awarded by a nationally recognised higher education institution in Hong Kong to be comparable to a UK Bachelor Honours degree.

Degree classification directly compares to that in the UK. We accept Second Class (Division 2) Honours for programmes requiring 2.2 and Second Class (Division 1) Honours for programmes with 2.1 entry requirement.

We also accept some applicable pre-masters programmes, please contact pgadmissions@hull.ac.uk to confirm if your programme is eligible.
