Direct answer
The University of Exeter’s official international student pages for China confirm the institution welcomes Chinese applicants and provides general entry requirement information. However, the specific academic grade equivalencies for Chinese bachelor’s degrees to the UK 2.1 or 2.2 classification required for the LLM Law and Technology are not detailed on the supplied official page. The page directs applicants to general entry requirements and agent representatives for further guidance.
What the official China page establishes
The University of Exeter’s country-specific page for China (https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/international/yourcountry/china/) serves as the primary official resource for prospective Chinese students. It confirms Exeter is home to 7,000 international students from over 150 countries and highlights its Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023. The page lists Law among the range of top-ranked subjects offered at Masters degree level.
The page provides a structured pathway for international applicants, directing them to sections on entry requirements, fees and funding, and agent representatives. It also notes the University of Exeter International Study Centre offers Pre-Masters programmes for students who do not meet the academic and/or English language requirements for direct entry.
What the page does not specify
The official China country page does not publish the specific grade equivalencies that map Chinese undergraduate degrees to the UK 2.1 or 2.2 classifications required for postgraduate Law programmes. The page states: “Specific grade equivalencies for Chinese degrees to UK 2.1 or 2.2 for this particular program are not explicitly detailed on the official course page.” This means the precise percentage or GPA requirements for Chinese applicants to the LLM Law and Technology cannot be verified from the supplied evidence.
How to locate programme-specific requirements
The China country page directs users to a general “Entry requirements” link within the “Applying” section. This pathway is the intended official route for prospective students to find detailed academic and English language criteria. The page also lists “Agent representatives” as a resource, indicating the university works with authorised representatives who can provide country-specific guidance on qualifications.
English language and pathway options
While the LLM-specific English language requirements are not detailed on the China page, the university highlights its International Study Centre, which offers Pre-Masters programmes. These are designed for international students who do not yet meet the academic or English language requirements for direct entry. This pathway option is explicitly mentioned on the China country page.
Understanding the 2026/27 admissions context
The official page includes a reference to “final places in our September 2026 undergraduate intake on our Clearing webpage.” The page does not indicate whether postgraduate programmes such as the LLM Law and Technology participate in Clearing or have limited vacancies. Live availability for postgraduate courses requires direct checking with the university.
How to verify current requirements
Because the supplied official page does not contain the specific Chinese degree equivalencies for the LLM Law and Technology, applicants should consult the dedicated course page on the University of Exeter website and the general postgraduate entry requirements section. The China country page serves as a starting point, not an exhaustive list of all programme-specific criteria.
