FOUNDATION YEAR SHARPENS STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS

This year we are offering new streams at Foundation Year and all streams have been rewritten to meet the needs of both domestic and international students so that they may be better prepared for university study.

A Foundation Year student may choose one of several streams. Within each stream, students will take ten papers.

We have two Student Deans (Simon Chu and Val Rowe) who can advise students of the best choice of stream leading to undergraduate university study.

If your student is unsure of what to study please ask them to contact us for advice or talk to us on their behalf. All streams include the two compulsory papers, Academic English I and II.


The streams include:

Arts
Applied Science
Business/Commerce
Design (Arts) – New
Design (Science) – New
Health Sciences
Life Science
Physical Education (Arts) – New
Physical Education (Science) - New

Detailed information on each stream available at Foundation Year and what undergraduate degree they may lead to is available in the prospectus or at:
