If you are checking whether a Chinese bachelor's degree clears 班戈大学（Bangor University）'s bar, the short answer sits in its2023 requirement sheet: for business and finance, a degree from a non-211/985 institution needs 70%, while 211 and 985 institutions need 65% or above. English is IELTS 6.0 (5.5).
The sheet covers more than one level, so the number that applies to you depends on which part of the sheet you are reading.
Undergraduate business and finance: the numbers themselves
The undergraduate entry block for 银行与金融 (Banking and Finance) states 本科录取（不需要通过 UCAS）— undergraduate admission does not go through UCAS. The figures it lists:
| Qualification route | Stated requirement |
|---|---|
| Bachelor's degree, non-211/985 | 70% |
| Bachelor's degree, 211 / 985 | 65% or above |
| 高考 | 60% or above |
| A-Level | BBC — 112 points |
| IB | 28–34 across6 subjects |
A subject-background requirement also applies: 专业背景要求商科相关背景, meaning a relevant business background is expected. English:雅思要求 6.0（5.5）.
Two alternative routes appear in the same block: 3 年大专 + 3 年以上相关工作经验可以考虑 (a three-year college diploma plus at least three years of relevant work experience may be considered).
Postgraduate business and finance, and the pathway providers
The same sheet lists a 集团 (group) entry structure for postgraduate study, with two intakes per year: 研究生 1 月、9 月两次开学. Requirements are given per provider, split between 本预成绩 (foundation-year results) and 本预英语要求 (English requirement).
| Provider | Foundation results | Foundation English |
|---|---|---|
| 牛津国际 | 0.4 | 0.4 |
| Kaplan | 0.55 | 60% or IELTS 6.0 |
| CFA 暑期培训课（Into） | Pass | 60% or IELTS 6.0 |
| Bellerbys | Pass or 55% | IELTS 6.0 |
| NCC Education | Pass or 50% | IELTS 6.0 |
| SG | Pass or 55% | IELTS 6.0 |
The same block repeats the degree thresholds — 70% for non-211/985, 65% for 211/985 — and adds two diploma routes: 3 年大专 + 3 年以上相关工作经验 can be considered, and 3 年大专 + 3 年相关工作经验 can apply to the 商学院 (Business School); separately, 2.5 年大专 + 4-5 年商科相关工作经验 is listed. IELTS6.0（5.5）. A subject-background line covers 商、市场、心理、金融、管理、消费者行为 — business, marketing, psychology, finance, management and consumer behaviour.
One programme behaves differently. 商业和消费者心理学 MA (MA in Business and Consumer Psychology) states 仅 9 月开学 — September intake only.
Music: different required materials per programme
The music section is postgraduate, and the required evidence changes by discipline.
- 表演专业 (performance): a 25-minute unedited performance video in which the performer's face is visible. Threshold: 65 for 211.
- 音乐理论 (music theory): a formal 3,000-word essay. Threshold: 70 for 非 211.
- 作曲 (composition): two to three representative scores and an audio sample.
English for music is 雅思 6.0（5.5）.
One line in this section is easy to misread. The sheet lists 成考/自考/专升本只要有双证都行 next to the music block, but it does not name which music programmes this applies to. Treat it as a question to confirm with the department rather than a settled rule for any one programme.
Computing MSc
计算机（Computing MSc）可接受跨专业申请 — applicants may come from a different discipline. Only one intake: 9 月一次开学.
How to self-check before you apply
Work through these in order:
- Open the current version of the requirement sheet on bangor.ac.uk and confirm the intake year. The figures above are the 2023 sheet.
- Identify your own qualification: bachelor's degree, 高考, A-Level, IB, diploma, or a foundation route through one of the listed providers.
- Read the threshold for your exact category. Do not carry the 65% figure over if your degree is not from a 211 or 985 institution, and do not assume 70% covers you if it does.
- Check whether your subject background matches the listed field requirement for your programme.
- Check the intake. January and September apply to the business and finance postgraduate route; the MA in Business and Consumer Psychology and the Computing MSc are September only.
- Confirm the English requirement and whether your provider's stated form of evidence is a percentage, a pass, or IELTS.
Where the sheet is silent — programme-specific detail, the exact programme the diploma-with-dual-certificate line covers, current-year figures — ask the university directly rather than inferring.
