Direct answer
The University of Reading’s official 2026/27 page for the MSc Design and Management of Sustainable Built Environment does not publish a dedicated set of academic entry requirements for Chinese applicants. All other China-specific grade equivalences require live rechecking with the university’s international admissions team.
What the official page establishes
The programme page confirms that the MSc Design and Management of Sustainable Built Environment is a postgraduate taught course offered for the 2026/27 academic year under the subject area of Construction Management and Engineering. The page is hosted on the University of Reading’s central study site and forms part of the university’s published prospectus for that entry year.
Entry requirement stated on the programme page
The exact wording and any additional conditions—such as required subjects or professional experience—are not reproduced in full on the navigational overview page that constitutes the supplied evidence. The evidence does not contain a detailed entry requirements tab or a dedicated international qualifications section for this specific course.
China-specific information in the evidence
Among the many subject and institution listings visible on the page, Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology appears as a named entity. The context of this listing is not explained in the supplied official text. No other Chinese universities, grade point average (GPA) equivalents, or percentage bands for Chinese bachelor’s degrees are stated on the page. The evidence explicitly marks as unverified any specific academic entry requirements for Chinese applicants from universities other than Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology.
What requires live rechecking
Because the official 2026/27 programme page does not include a China-specific academic equivalency table, the following items cannot be confirmed from the supplied evidence and must be verified directly with the university or through its published international country pages:
- The minimum GPA or percentage required for a Chinese four-year bachelor’s degree.
- Whether the 2:2 UK equivalent varies by Chinese institution tier or ranking.
- English language proficiency requirements for Chinese nationals.
- Any subject-specific prerequisites for applicants holding Chinese qualifications.
- The nature of the relationship with Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology (e.g., articulation agreement, dual degree, or recognition pathway).
2026/27 and 2027/28 entry status
The page confirms that the university is in the process of finalising its postgraduate taught courses for 2027/28 entry. The 2026/27 course information remains available for reference. This article reflects only the 2026/27 page as supplied. No information about 2027/28 entry requirements, availability, or application deadlines is present in the evidence.
How to use this information
For a definitive Chinese qualification equivalency, consult the University of Reading’s dedicated international student entry requirements pages, which sit outside the supplied evidence boundary. This article does not direct readers to apply or contact the university.

Is Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology a recognised pathway?
