Foundation Programme

Foundation/pre-university programmes are much shorter than HSC or A-level courses. They take only 12 months to complete, whereas studying HSC or A-levels mean you are kept waiting for up to 24 months. And then, there is often a long delay before your results are published, meaning that you may even miss the next academic session as well. The quicker you complete your degree though, the sooner you will get a job so as to gain more experience than other graduates in your age group.

Investing in your education is a must if you are looking for a bright future. But that does not mean you Should throw money around without first thinking of the benefits it will bring you later. HSC and A-levels are generally more expensive than a foundation/pre-university programme, because they take longer.

You need to consider not only the tuition fees and living costs while you are studying but also the value of the extra year you are losing, while others are out in the market may be getting jobs which should be yours!

As you probably already have a clear vision of the specific career you want – whether that is as an engineer, doctor, lawyer or entrepreneur, it makes sense to study a foundation programme that will launch you directly into your preferred degree course. With a foundation/pre-university qualification course, you will learn the fundamentals of your selected field, focusing on specific subjects and modules
needed to excel in your Bachelor’s degree.

On the other hand, if you are still undecided about your chosen career path, a general Foundation Programme can offer you the chance to see where your interests and skills lie and help you make a well- informed decision about the Bachelor’s degree that is right for you!
