What TOEFL score do you need for Wuhan University?

The admissions guide is unusual in naming TOEFL Essentials (8 or above) as an accepted alternative. Neither page gives section minimums, a validity period, MyBest or Home Edition rules, or an institution code.

TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale. The page above gives only 0 to 120 figures, so that is what this guide reports.

On the same pages, the IELTS alternative is 6.0 or above.

The scholarship page says applicants who cannot offer a standard English test result can provide proof of earlier study at an English-medium institution and will then take an additional oral or written English test set by Wuhan University. The general guide allows exemption for native English speakers and applicants with English-taught degrees, if approved.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Wuhan University programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
