Before you apply
Some courses need more, for example teaching and vision science. A double degree across faculties takes the higher requirement. See UNSW's English requirements.
UNSW calls these a guide: actual requirements can be higher or lower. Gaokao figures are still UNSW's 2025 requirements, which UNSW says it will update. UNSW is reviewing Singapore A-levels after the 2026 changes, so it publishes no figure we can compare.
Meeting a minimum doesn't guarantee an offer, and some courses also have subject prerequisites, portfolios or interviews. Confirm everything with UNSW before you apply.
