Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about studying abroad
Q1What if my Gaokao score isn't ideal?
Overseas universities use holistic admissions, not just Gaokao scores. We offer foundation programs, pathway programs, and language + degree packages for students across all score ranges. Even those below the Tier 2 cutoff can gain admission to QS Top 200 universities.
Q2Is this degree recognized in China?
All partner universities are accredited and recognized by China's Ministry of Education. Graduates can obtain degree certification from the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE), required for civil service exams, state-owned enterprise employment, and further studies.
Q3What is the annual cost?
Tuition varies by country: UK £20,000-35,000, US $30,000-60,000, Australia AUD 35,000-45,000, Canada CAD 25,000-40,000. Living costs range from ¥100,000-200,000/year. Scholarships can cover 20%-100% of tuition for high-achieving students.
Q4What if my English isn't good enough?
Many universities provide language courses or conditional offers. You can take language tests later or complete pre-sessional English programs. Some programs also accept the Duolingo English Test as an alternative to IELTS.
Q5When should I begin preparing?
Ideally, apply 1–2 years in advance. However, we offer flexible programs with multiple intakes (January, May, September). Some universities also accept last-minute applications. Contact us for a personalized timeline.
Q6Can I work part-time while studying?
Yes, most countries allow international students to work part-time: UK (20 hrs/week during term), Australia (40 hrs/fortnight), Canada (20 hrs/week), US (on-campus only). This helps cover living expenses and provides valuable work experience.
Q7What are the post-graduation opportunities?
Many countries offer post-study work visas: the UK (2-3 years Graduate Route), Australia (2-4 years Temporary Graduate Visa), and Canada (up to 3 years Post-Graduation Work Permit). These options can lead to permanent residency.
Q8Do we offer housing assistance?
Yes, we offer comprehensive support including university dormitory applications, homestay arrangements, and private rental assistance. We also provide airport pickup and settling-in services.
Q9What if my application is rejected?
We apply to multiple universities across different ranking tiers to ensure you receive at least one offer. Our "no offer, full refund" policy protects your investment. We also provide appeal services if needed.
Q10Can I transfer from a domestic university?
Yes, credit transfer is possible based on your current major and target university. We review your transcripts to maximize credit recognition. Some students may even skip the first year.
