i love the smaller class numbers which create a comfortable environment for group discussion in tutorials. i also love the option of continuing through the tri-semester, allowing me to complete my degree in two years, whereas at most universities it would take three.
Elise Donnelly Bachelor of Arts majoring in Media, Culture and Communication
The foundation program is two sessions (eight months) or three sessions (12 months), depending on your most recent high school results.
Foundation structure
you will undertake a combination of compulsory and elective units. in the Standard Track program you complete 17 units, nine of which are compulsory, while in the Fast Track program, six of the 14 units are compulsory. Compulsory units consist of a mixture of computing skills, tertiary preparation and English (if applicable). in both programs you must also complete eight elective units across four different learning areas. available electives include economics, accounting, society and culture, chemistry, biology, law, information technology and mathematics. you are encouraged to take electives related to your intended degree. It is strongly recommended that one of the learning areas be mathematics as most university degrees require some level of mathematical skill.

We assess your academic progress throughout each session and in final exams.
