UniSQ Foundation Programs
UniSQ Foundation programs aim to equip students with the necessary skills to successfully respond to the numeracy, literacy, critical thinking and e-literacy demands of higher education studies and the professional workplace, in addition to assisting students to successfully manage the complexities of life-work balance.
The program introduces students to university academic culture, offering a solid foundation in key principles, issues, and strategies essential for success in first-year undergraduate studies. The program is available in two formats:
• Standard Foundation Program
• Extended Foundation Program
Both versions of the program emphasise collaboration, technology, problem-solving, research, and hands-on laboratory work.
Model
The curriculum includes subjects comparable in standard to an Australian Year 12 curriculum and prepares students for study in higher education programmes. The program is structured to ensure capacity for the future introduction of specialisations. It enables international students to meet the academic and English language requirements (IELTS 6.0 or equivalent) necessary to enter the first year of selected UniSQ Bachelor Degrees.
Articulation
Students will meet the entry requirements to selected UniSQ undergraduate degrees.
