Singapore recognizes Chinese Gaokao scores. To apply for an undergraduate program at a public university in Singapore, Gaokao scores should be 50-100 points above the local cutoff for first-tier universities. Additionally, an IELTS score of 6.5 or higher is required. Private universities generally have lower admission requirements, only requiring high school graduation and an IELTS score around 6.0. However, Gaokao scores can be used to compete for scholarships. If IELTS scores are not met, language requirements can be fulfilled by taking the university’s language courses.

Gaokao Score Requirements for Studying Abroad in Singapore

Requirements for Gaokao scores vary between public and private universities. Public universities for undergraduate programs typically require Gaokao scores 50-100 points above the local cutoff for first-tier universities, an IELTS score of 6.5 or higher, and a successful university interview. If Gaokao scores are not satisfactory, students can consider taking the Singapore A-Level exams, achieving at least two A grades. International students also need to complete at least a one-year A-Level preparatory course.

Private universities have lower entry requirements, only necessitating high school graduation or equivalent, along with Gaokao or average in-school scores. The language requirement is around an IELTS score of 6.0. If language scores are not met, they can be fulfilled by participating in language courses.
