English test waiver

For English taught programmes, HIT asks for Academic IELTS above 6.0 with no subtest below 5.5, or TOEFL iBT above 80, or equivalent evidence of prior education in English. Chinese taught programmes are assessed on Chinese ability instead, generally through an HSK certificate reviewed by the College of International Education.
