UK Universities that Accept Chinese Gaokao
China’s National College Entrance Examination (NCEE), or gaokao, is the admission test that all final-year high school students in the country must take if they wish to gain a place at a Chinese university.
For Chinese students who want to come to the UK to undertake undergraduate courses, they can be admitted directly if they meet the gaokao requirements. Although the exact score varies depending on the university, a general criterion is achieving at least 60% of the total score — which typically means a minimum of 450 out of 750.
