Postgraduate

Qualification required for postgraduate entry:	From 4 - 7 year 學士學位 Bachelor's degree The University of Leeds recognises a number of top Taiwanese institutions - a list has been created (for internal use only), and the relevant grade should be applied to these institutions. Taiwanese universities grade students in different ways - both % and GPA systems are used. There is no standardised conversion approach so, where a GPA grading scale is present, request the grading information and conversion formulae from the applicant transcript to determine appropriate equivalency. Most universities will be able to provide a % transcript if asked. The most common GPA system in Taiwan is 4.0 maximum. Some use a 4.3 maximum scale (including high-ranking universities like National Taiwan University, National Cheng Kung University, National Chengchi University, National Tsing Hua University). A few universities use a 4.5 maximum GPA scale (e.g. National Dong Hwa University). If help is required in determining GPA to % equivalency, please contact the International Office (Claire Zupnik) as they have access to further advice and some universities' equivalency metrics.

United States of America

Undergraduate

Qualification required for undergraduate entry:	Entry requirements are different for US-domiciled students and students taking US qualifications in other countries. For an overview, watch the USA UG qualifications briefing 2024. Entry requirements for US-domiciled students We require the High School Diploma with a minimum GPA of 3.0 plus at least one externally assessed qualification (Advanced Placement (AP), SAT II subject test, dual enrolment course) plus two more qualifications from any combination of APs, SAT IIs, dual enrolment courses or Honors classes. Note that SAT II subject tests were discontinued in 2021. Any subject-specific requirements must be met with an AP or SAT II. If the externally-assessed qualification is a dual enrolment course, an interview and written submission must be requested to assess the applicant’s suitability for the chosen course before an offer is made. Applicants may also present the AICE Diploma, which should be considered holistically alongside other qualifications. Level 2 maths and English requirements must be met from A-levels, SATR or ACT. Please see the AICE Diploma overview for more information about this qualification. Associate degrees studied over 2 years with 3.0 GPA can also be considered on a case-by-case basis. For schools making qualification comparisons at Level 2, Grade 12 is equivalent to GCSE. In all states, compulsory subject areas include English/languages, maths, science and social studies. The most common scoring system is a GPA out of 4.0:  A/90% = GPA 4.0 B/80% = GPA 3.0 C/70% = GPA 2.0 Entry requirements for students taking US qualifications in other countries A minimum of three AP subjects with grades of 4-5. Subject-specific requirements apply.
A*AA:	Each of the following grade requirements is an illustrative example of one common combination of qualifications.
