Facing one of life’s turning points,the undergraduate degree choice after the Gaokaois undoubtedly the first and also the most important one. Usingthe same Gaokao scoreto apply toa university with a higher world ranking,is surely a dream every student wants to achieve.
Australia’s leading universities offer high school graduates like us more pathways and ways to achieve that dream — flexible admission and progression systems let students enter world-class institutions through multiple routes, giving themselves a fresh start for the future.
For students who aren’t yet sure how to get into an Australian undergraduate degree, today we’re sharingthree waysto enrol in an undergraduate degree at a Group of Eight (Go8) university or other leading institution, along with the entry requirements for the relevant popular majors:

International Year One Fast-Track programme + Australian undergraduate degree
As the name suggests, the International Year One Fast-Track programme covers the same content as first-year of a bachelor’s degree,and upon completion, students can move straight into second-year studies at the same institution.It’s aimed atstudents with less-than-ideal Gaokao results, or those who have completed three full years of senior high school study.
Key point — what are the advantages of the International Year One Fast-Track programme?
— Saves time
There’s no need to start from a foundation programme (roughly equivalent to Year 11 in China) — students can enrol directly in a programme equivalent to first-year of a bachelor’s degree, then move straight into second year upon completion
— Lower entry threshold
For students whose Gaokao results weren’t strong enough for direct entry into an Australian undergraduate degree,the International Year One Fast-Track programme has lower entry requirements than direct undergraduate entry
–— Saves money
At most institutions, the tuition fees for the International Year One Fast-Track programme, compared withthe bachelor’s degree, are slightly reduced
