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. 

Every day, I learn new skills that perfectly fit me into the new country and culture. "
