Foundation Studies is a university preparation course specifically designed for international students who have not completed secondary schooling or met the direct entry requirements for a UOW Bachelor's degree.
The course involves a stream of subjects relevant to your chosen UOW degree. Therefore, when you enrol in the program, you will be allocated to an appropriate stream of study.
You will develop study skills and habits, including time management, essay writing, group work and presentation skills, and become familiar with the university's academic standards and expectations.
Completing Foundation Studies guarantees entry to most UOW undergraduate Bachelor's degrees.
