I don't think there is any fixed level - it depends on the university and on the degree you're doing. If you can't find the information online you'd need to get in touch with the university directly. I think it tends to be 6 for arts and 4 for sciences though.

The HSK requirements are fairly standardized across Chinese universities. For undergraduate admissions, the required standard is HSK-3 for science & technology degrees, or HSK-6 for Chinese literature degrees. Graduate studies usually require HSK-9.

More at http://english.hanban.edu.cn/market/HanBanE/413810.htm

HSK (Elementary-Intermediate) grade criterion is as follows:

[...] Level 3, which is prescribed by the Ministry of Education, is the minimum level in Chinese proficiency for an overseas student to be admitted to a college or university in China as an undergraduate student in the field of science, engineering, agriculture or Western medicine.

[...] Level 6, which is prescribed by the Ministry of Education, is the minimum level in Chinese proficiency for an overseas student to be admitted to a college or university in China as an undergraduate student in the fields of Chinese literature, history or Chinese medicine.

At Nanjing University a few years ago when I was thinking of doing the same thing. Undergrad minimum score was HSK4 and Postgrad was HSK6 unless you were majoring in Chinese and then it was higher.

have fun,

Today for Nanjing University I believe the minimum HSK level depends on the specific program.

If applying for the John Hopkins - Nanjing joint "Certificate in Chinese" then the minimum is HSK level 5 (or for the 2-year M.A. program, HSK level 6.)

But Nanjing's regular undergraduate programs follow the same Hanban guidelines as most everywhere else... HSK-3 for science majors, HSK-6 for the arts.
