High school students who plete the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, or Gaokao, with top grades will be able to apply for direct entry onto Birmingham degree programmes without first pleting a foundation year which is a routine for the freshman. Gaokao is usually taken by students in their last year of senior high school and, every year, each province in China sets the grades required to gain admission to its universities. It is usually held across China in early June. Students are tested in Chinese, Mathematics, a Foreign Language and social sciences or natural sciences. University of Birmingham ViceChancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood said: The University of Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. We wele people from around the globe to study at Birmingham and Chinese students form an integral part of our education and research munity. We are further opening access to Birmingham39。s wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification. I look forward to weling these highflying students to the University of Birmingham. Gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia, the USA, Canada and mainland Europe. Birmingham will only be considering high quality students who achieve a minimum 80% Gaokao score and meet additional academic and English language requirements. Professor J on Frampton, Director of the University of Birmingham39。s China Institute said: The University of Birmingham has a long history of educating students from China and one of our most famous graduates is Li Siguangthe founding father of Chinese geology. I am delighted that the University is now accepting the Gaokao. This gives the brightest and best Chinese students an opportunity to move straight into the first year of our undergraduate programmes and experience the benefits of studying at a global Top 100 university, such as Birmingham. （1）What do Chinese students have to do to enter the University of Birmingham before 2019?
