English test waiver
For English medium programmes, Wuhan University asks for TOEFL iBT 80 or above, TOEFL Essentials 8 or above, or IELTS 6.0 or above; native English speakers and applicants whose prior degree was taught in English are exempt. Chinese medium graduate programmes instead ask for HSK Level 4 with a score of at least 180; Chinese medium undergraduate applicants are assessed on Chinese ability separately rather than against a fixed English score.
