Students are able to consult with teachers about their studies in additional sessions outside class time. All students also have the advantage of an academic support program where each tutorial group is assigned a dedicated teacher to advise on a range of matters to assist them as a group and individually. In these discussion sessions the students are provided advice on study skills, exam preparation and academic progress, as well as university undergraduate programs.

Our Successful Students

Our Foundation Studies students have a proven record of success. Since our first students began in 1989, at least 85% have gained entry to undergraduate programs at UNSW or other Australian universities.

UNSW Foundation Studies programs familiarise students with the local academic and social culture, and develop skills and knowledge that lead to a dedication to study and higher achievement. UNSW Foundation Studies also offers an advantage to superior students who often choose the foundation programs over completing final school qualifications in their own country, in order to gain entry to UNSW.

UNSW Foundation Studies graduates have excellent Student Progress Rates in their undergraduate programs at UNSW. Student Progress Rates are a measure of the percentage of students who pass the courses attempted in their degree. Generally our students demonstrate excellent overall academic performance when compared to other international students and local students at UNSW.

‘I chose to study here to improve my English and learn how to be independent. My classes are well organised and there is a great cultural exchange. The teachers are nice, patient and very helpful and it’s less stressful studying here.’

A UNSW Foundation Studies Family Tradition

My father graduated from UNSW with a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, also my brother and most of my cousins studied at UNSW Foundation Studies.

Travis Loh (left) pictured with Sher Rin Loh

In 2010, Sher Rin Loh became the 6th child of the Loh family from Malaysia to attend UNSW Foundation Studies.

Sher Rin studied in the UNSW Foundation Studies Design Stream and is now studying Architecture at UNSW. “The most important things I learnt in UNSW Foundation Studies were Design and Australian history. I have to admit that the culture and lifestyle in Australia are pretty different from Malaysia and it’s beginning to influence my daily life.

I’m enjoying the multicultural society, meeting new people and being independent.”

Sher Rin was very happy during her time in the program, particularly with regard to the study environment.

“Facilities at UNSW Foundation Studies were good and the staff obliging and cheerful. My classes were great and the teachers were friendly, open-minded and helpful. I bonded well with my classmates and we even organised our own trips to Sydney Harbour and to other parts of the city.”

Sher Rin’s brother, Travis, is an alumnus of UNSW Foundation Studies. He decided to study in this program for several reasons. “My father graduated from UNSW with a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, also my brother and most of my cousins studied at UNSW Foundation Studies.


The Foundation program has really improved and enhanced my presentation, time management and speaking skills. The teachers really encouraged me to voice my opinions and share ideas when brainstorming. Foundation Studies is really useful in cultivating the essential skills needed for further studies, life and future employment.

Corry Ng (Australia) Stream of Study: Arts | Preferred Bachelor Degree: Arts

I remembered hearing many good things, mainly how diversified the students are at UNSW Foundation Studies which increased my interest to enrol into the program. I studied in the Standard C (October program) in 2001 and then I graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Information Technology at UTS and then finished with a Masters Degree in Digital Media at UNSW. “

Travis still has fond memories of the program. “My friends who I studied with at UNSW Foundation Studies often reminisce about the ‘good old days’ and we never fail to agree that UNSW Foundation Studies was, and still is, the best moment of our stay in Sydney. I liked how the teachers were attentive to my learning needs as a student and the classroom sizes were just right (not too small or too large). UNSW Foundation Studies and university have really changed my outlook on life and have instilled in me responsibilities such as time scheduling, discipline and critical thinking, as well as giving me the freedom to socialise and have a fantastic time.”

Anson, from Hong Kong, who studied the UNSW Foundation Studies Commerce/Law stream speaks of his UNSW experience. “I chose to study here because UNSW is a world-renowned and internationally recognised university. Also, my sister is studying here in UNSW and recommends this university.

The most important thing I have learnt is to appreciate and respect other cultures while studying here, as well as improving my critical thinking and interpersonal skills. I really appreciate the fact that we can learn efficiently here as there are well-equipped

facilities on campus. The learning atmosphere here is fantastic since students are encouraged to develop their own ideas instead of just following tutors instructions.

In my class, there were only 15 students which allows both teaching and learning more effectively. Moreover, whenever I am confused the lecturers and tutors are always more than happy to help. I admire this very much.

A Scholarly Performance

Yiu Cheung (Anson) Chan was one of four UNSW Foundation Studies Scholarship students commencing in 2010. On completion of his Foundation program, he also won the Ross Woodham Scholarship as the outstanding student in Business

Convenience is another advantage studying here as UNSW has a great location. Accommodation, restaurants, clinics, post office etc are on or near the campus. The high accessibility to the CDB of Sydney allows us to experience the city life.

The longer I stay here, the more I learn, apart from improving my spoken English, I’ve learnt to be more independent and deal with problems on my own. I’m happy and grateful to be a student of UNSW and I’m looking forward to my second and third years here.”

Cost of UNSW Foundation Studies All students entering UNSW Foundation Studies programs pay the same fees whether they are international students, Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents.

Entry into UNSW Undergraduate Programs via Commonwealth Supported Places Students enrolled in UNSW Foundation Studies may proceed to a Commonwealth Supported place at UNSW.

The grades required for Commonwealth Supported places in undergraduate programs are determined by the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) at the time of each intake, and are dependent on the availability of places and the demand for them.

In many popular programs no Commonwealth Supported places remain for Semester 2 (July) entry because of demand at Semester 1 (February/March) enrolment.

For this reason Australian citizens and permanent residents are encouraged to enrol in a January or April UNSW Foundation Studies program which concludes in time for students to enter Semester 1 at university.

Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents

Commonwealth Supported places are in strong demand in the majority of programs and students completing UNSW Foundation Studies need to achieve high grades, equivalent to other Australian students.

English Language Grade The minimum English language requirement for obtaining a university place is grade C+. Some programs may require a higher grade (see list of program requirements in the current UNSW Foundation Studies Student Guide or on our website www.ufs.unsw.edu.au).

Applying to Other UniversitiesWe will help students apply to UNSW and other universities but it should be noted that some universities may not offer places to Australian citizens or permanent residents who have studied in foundation programs.

Cost of University Degree For Commonwealth Supported places, student contributions are paid either up-front or are deferred and paid later through the tax system.

For further details please refer to the UNSW website: www.unsw.edu.au. Click on ‘Future Students’ and follow the links.

Australian citizens or permanent residents of Australia are eligible to apply for all UNSW Foundation Studies programs provided:

• they have an international educational background (most high school education outside Australia); and

• they have not completed an Australian year 12 or equivalent certificate; and

• they meet academic and English language requirements.


Recognition of UNSW Foundation Studies

In AustraliaUNSW Foundation Studies qualifications are recognised by the Group of Eight (Go8) coalition of leading Australian universities, intensive in research and comprehensive in general and professional education. The Go8 universities are:The University of New South WalesThe University of Adelaide The Australian National University The University of Melbourne Monash University The University of Queensland The University of Sydney The University of Western Australia.

Most other Australian universities also recognise the UNSW Foundation Studies qualifications.

InternationallyUNSW Foundation Studies qualifications are also recognised by many universities in the following countries as meeting, or partially meeting, their entry requirements to undergraduate programs: Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom and United States of America.

Note: Many universities will only consider applications on a case-by-case basis, and there may be additional requirements, quotas or specific subject requirements for certain programs.

Starting Your University Degree

University Placement by Student Advisers Towards the end of the UNSW Foundation Studies programs, the Student Advisers arrange a Faculty Information Day and seminars. At these events students gain first-hand information about the many

undergraduate programs the university offers, and are able to talk directly to the representatives of the different faculties. The Student Advisers are available to discuss preferences with students before university placement is made.

Once the final UNSW Foundation Studies results are released, the Student Advisers assist in the placement of students in the nominated undergraduate program.

Undergraduate Entry Semester 1 (February/March) and Semester 2 (July)

UNSW Foundation Studies has programs for university entry into Semester 1 (February/March) and mid-year Semester 2 (July). Main university entry is in February/March. Although many university programs offer entry in July, not all undergraduate programs are offered. See the list of programs on pages 26 – 29 for mid-year (July) entry, shown with +.

Student Support Services and Accommodation

Student SupportTo welcome all new students, Student Advisers organise an orientation program to meet teachers and to give information about studies, as well as details of student visa requirements. Tours of the UNSW campus and Sydney are also offered. Orientation provides a great opportunity for students to meet one another and make friends before formal classes begin.

Throughout a student’s program, Student Advisers organise weekly team sports and outings to places of interest in and around Sydney, as well as extended trips during the holidays.

Clubs and SocietiesOn the UNSW campus, there are over 30 sports clubs, which train and participate in competitions throughout the year. Participation in sports is a great way to meet people with the same interests and develop personal skills. Sport helps balance academic study.

There are other clubs and societies on campus including music, debating, theatre, science fiction, politics, religion, the environment and many more.

Extra TutoringThe UNSW Foundation Studies team is committed to helping all students reach their full potential and complete their program to the highest standard. As part of this commitment, we offer additional consultation sessions outside class time.

These additional sessions provide students with the opportunity to speak to their teachers about their studies. These sessions are scheduled during the year, and when examination time is approaching. Every student has the opportunity to benefit from this extra tutoring.

Online ServicesThe UNSW Foundation Studies student intranet can be accessed from anywhere in the world at any time. It provides access to a variety of services and information such as online learning, the academic calendar and timetables, student handbooks, news and information on student activities, and a secure area which allows access to assessment details and grades. The student intranet also enables students to confirm their UNSW preferences online as they move from UNSW Foundation Studies into their UNSW undergraduate degree course.

UNSW Foundation Studies has a team of Student Advisers who offer friendly support to students during their studies. Support is especially important when students first arrive in Australia and are settling in.


Accommodation AssistanceUNSW Foundation Studies has an Accommodation Officer who looks after all students, especially those under the age of 18. The Officer meets with students on a regular basis to discuss any concerns they may have regarding accommodation.

A wide range of short and long- term accommodation is available for students.

This includes staying at our Residential College (Unilodge@UNSW); Homestay with an Australian family; or, if you are over 18 years of age, renting a flat with other students.

The Accommodation Officer can assist in arranging an airport reception and transfer service for students arriving in Sydney who do not have any friends or relatives to meet them.

Family, friends and students are welcome to contact the Accommodation Officer about any of these matters. Further information can be found on our website: www.ufs.unsw.edu.au

The UNSW Foundation Studies team is committed to helping all students reach their full potential and complete their program to the highest standard. As part of this commitment, we offer additional consultation sessions outside class time.
