China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT) partnership
Our partnership with China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT) provides an admissions route for students who have successfully completed the first three years of their Bachelor's programme at CUMT to join a designated study abroad year. Students who successfully complete this year (120-125 credits at level 3) are then eligible to progress directly to a Leeds MSc programme, subject to meeting the minimum entry requirements.
Students successfully completing the five-year study period graduate with a Bachelor's degree from CUMT and a University of Leeds Masters degree.

Entry requirements
For admission to the study abroad year you’ll need to have successfully completed Years 1-3 at CUMT with an average mark of 75% or higher. You will also need to achieve the English language requirement of IELTS 6.0 overall (with no less than 5.5 in each component) or an equivalent English language qualification. For progression to Masters study at Leeds, you will need to achieve the entry requirements of the relevant MSc.
Fees and scholarships
Once you are enrolled on the Leeds programme you’ll receive a scholarship towards the international tuition fee. This is provided as a partial fee waiver for each year of the programme at Leeds, subject to making satisfactory academic progress.
Study abroad year structure and progression
You have flexibility to select the pathway and modules which best suit your subject interests and career plans. Three different pathways each correspond to one of the three MSc programmes, so your choice of modules during the study abroad year determines which Leeds Masters you are eligible to progress to. Please contact Dr Lanpeng Ji for further information about the programme structure and progression.
Further information and how to apply
You should submit your application to the University of Leeds' Study Abroad Office by the annual deadline. When submitting your application please select modules from one of the three pathways - guidance is available from the University of Leeds team based in China and you are encouraged to make contact before applying. The team will guide you on how to apply and how to secure a place in University of Leeds accommodation.
