The AUSMAT pathway stands out as Malaysia’s preferred Australian-based pre-university option, with countless graduates securing placements at esteemed global universities.
If you’re aiming to study at a top university in Australia and want a flexible, supportive pre-university programme, the Australian Matriculation (AUSMAT) pathway at Taylor’s College is the perfect starting point. Offered through the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) board, the AUSMAT pathway is designed to help you explore your interests and strengths while preparing you for university life.
Unlike programmes with a single, high-stakes final examination, AUSMAT combines continuous assessments and final exams, with 70% of student grades coming from ongoing assessments and 30% from final exams. This balanced approach gives you multiple opportunities to show your progress and focus on steady improvement throughout your studies.
Holistic Education for Well-Rounded Skills
Beyond exams and assessments, the AUSMAT pathway emphasises holistic education and self-directed learning. You’ll develop a wide range of essential skills such as critical thinking, adaptability, communication, time management and teamwork that will prepare you for the challenges of university and beyond.
School-based assessments like topic tests, assignments, projects, research and practicals allow you to continuously build on your knowledge while developing real-world skills.
Flexible Subject Choices Across Disciplines
With AUSMAT, you’ll have the chance to select five subjects from a broad range of fields, giving you the freedom to explore areas like science, arts, business and more. Subjects offered include Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, English as an Additional Language, Economics, Accounting, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Legal Studies and Psychology.
This variety empowers you to explore your interests across disciplines and not be confined to a single stream. This not only helps you discover where your passion lies, but also gives you the flexibility to keep your options open if you’re unsure about your degree choice.
Globally Recognised Programme with Broad Pathways
AUSMAT is internationally recognised and accepted by top universities worldwide in countries like Australia, New Zealand, UK, USA, Singapore and beyond. In Malaysia, all private universities recognise the programme, making it a popular choice among students.
With this recognition, graduates from Taylor’s College have access to countless academic pathways and career possibilities.
Dedicated Support for Your Success
At Taylor’s College, AUSMAT students receive dedicated support through academic counselling and career guidance. With the help of its University Placement Services (UPS), you’ll also get personalised advice on applications to universities around the world, including assistance with personal statements, scholarship guidance and more. This hands-on support helps you navigate the path to your dream university with confidence.

The lecturers here are incredibly experienced and know best what it takes to excel in both internal and external assessments.”
Another shining example is Aisyah Farhana Azha Syahril, who scored an ATAR of 97.35 and is also studying at the University of Melbourne, pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and Finance. Aisyah shares how the programme equipped her with essential skills for her Bachelor of Commerce degree.
Reflecting on her AUSMAT journey, Aisyah explains, “We learned the basics before going into a degree.” The programme’s well-rounded curriculum introduced her to foundational topics in subjects like English, Accounting, Economics and Mathematics, which continue to be highly relevant in her current studies. “I’m grateful that I took AUSMAT because the assignment-based work was more my style than exam-based,” she adds. “I believe the greatest takeaway for me was being the best version of myself I could be in such a nurturing environment.”
With aspirations of a successful career in Accounting and Finance, Aisyah is currently studying for a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Melbourne.
Their success stories demonstrate the strength of the AUSMAT pathway at Taylor’s College in preparing students to excel academically and personally at leading institutions worldwide.
