Pathways for international students
Complete a pathway course to improve your English, academic skills and confidence before moving onto your dream undergraduate degree.
Start with a strong foundation
If you’re not quite ready for university-level study, start with a pathway course. We can help you improve your English, build your academic skills and boost your confidence. And if you complete Foundation Studies, you’re guaranteed entry into a Federation undergraduate diploma or degree.
English for Academic Purposes
If you don’t meet the English language entry requirements for your preferred course, we recommend completing English for Academic Purposes. Over 10 weeks, we’ll help you improve your writing, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, assignment preparation and note taking.
Foundation Studies
If you haven’t completed Year 12 or an equivalent qualification, our one-year Foundation Studies course is your pathway to higher ed. Develop your communication and study skills and learn about university expectations. Our small class sizes mean extra support.
Higher education diplomas
Keen on IT, engineering or business? Completing a one-year specialised higher education diploma through a Diploma of Engineering (Higher Education), Diploma of Business (Higher Education) or Diploma of Information Technology (Higher Education) will build a solid foundation in your interest area – enough to get guaranteed second-year entry into a relevant degree course.
