Why Do You Need IELTS/TOEFL for China?
China has become a major destination for international students, with over 500,000 foreign students enrolled in Chinese universities. While many programs are taught in Chinese (requiring HSK), a growing number of prestigious universities offer English-taught programs (EMI) across fields like engineering, business, medicine, and computer science.
These English-taught programs require proof of English proficiency, and IELTS and TOEFL are the two most accepted tests. Your score directly affects not only your admission chances but also your eligibility for scholarships like CSC (China Scholarship Council), which often requires IELTS 6.0+ or TOEFL 80+ as a minimum.
Unlike some countries that accept informal English proficiency evidence, Chinese universities strictly enforce standardized test score requirements. Having a strong IELTS or TOEFL score is often the single most important factor in your application to an English-taught program.
Score Requirements by University
Here are the typical minimum IELTS and TOEFL scores required by top Chinese universities for English-taught programs.
| University | Tier | IELTS | TOEFL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tsinghua University | Top 5 | 6.5 | 90 |
| Peking University | Top 5 | 6.5 | 90 |
| Fudan University | Top 10 | 6.5 | 85 |
