EDUCATION PATHWAY
Your study plan can be streamlined by planning and pursuing an educational course. A Foundation course will assist you in achieving your objectives more quickly.
If you don't meet the entry criteria for the course you want in Australia, there are a number of options available to help you get there.
This may include attending an Australian academy, taking English language classes, or enrolling in a vocational education and training programme.
FOUNDATION STUDIES
If you don't meet academic criteria, you have a few options for getting ready to continue your education. You can enrol in high school or Foundation Studies, depending on your previous studies and the final degree you want to pursue.
Foundation Studies is a rigors preparatory programme that will prepare you to enrol in an undergraduate programme at a university or other institution of higher learning. These programmes are typically divided into streams, such as business and science, and include both mandatory and elective subjects. The majority of the time, English language assistance is required.
Foundation Studies courses are available at many schools, vocational education and training institutions, and universities. Foundation Studies is characterised by a university's provisional admission to an undergraduate programme if you reach the necessary grades.
