Cogdel School Chengdu graduates have received offers from Australia's Group of Eight (Go8) universities, including the University of Melbourne — consistently ranked Australia's #1 university and among the world's top 40.
About the Go8
The Group of Eight represents Australia's leading research-intensive universities: Melbourne, Sydney, Australian National University, UNSW Sydney, Queensland, Monash, Western Australia, and Adelaide. These institutions produce the majority of Australia's research output and are internationally recognized for academic excellence.
Why Australia?
Australian universities offer world-class education with unique advantages for international students: strong Asia-Pacific connections, vibrant multicultural campus cultures, clear post-graduation work pathways, and a quality of life that consistently ranks among the world's best. For Cogdel families considering destinations beyond the UK and US, Australia is an increasingly attractive option.
From the University Guidance Center
"The best university for any student is the one that fits their aspirations, learning style, and life goals — not necessarily the one with the highest ranking. Australia's Go8 universities offer an excellent combination of academic rigor, lifestyle quality, and genuine welcome for international students."
Congratulations to all students heading Down Under!
