QUT国际学院

Highlights

• Pathway to bachelor and diploma programs for students who do not meet the academic or English language entry requirements.
• Complete in one year full time.
• Study at a slower pace, maximise success, and avoid a gap between your foundation and bachelor degree studies.
• Study academic English, digital studies, literature studies and other units that are specific to your degree.

Why choose this course?

The Extended Foundation program will help you meet the academic and English language requirements for your undergraduate studies at QUT. It is similar to the Standard Foundation but includes an additional teaching period to help you maximise your academic success.

As an Extended Foundation student, you will learn the required knowledge and skills that you need to enter the first year of most undergraduate degree courses and be better prepared to achieve academic success at QUT.

You will develop:

• knowledge based on your chosen discipline of study
• written and oral academic English skills
• digital literacy skills
• and understanding of what it means to be a QUT student and the Australian learning style.

The program starts in February and ends in December so you can complete your studies at a slower pace and progress directly into your undergraduate program in February.

The QUT International College community will also offer you valuable co-curricular opportunities, such as the student mentor program and activities club, which will help you meet new friends and broaden your Australian learning experience. You will also be able to access a broad range of additional learning support.

When you have completed the Extended Foundation program, and met the faculty progression requirements, you will be guaranteed a place in the first year of your bachelor degree.

Progression to your related bachelor course

Progression requirements from Extended Foundation into QUT bachelor degrees are different depending on your chosen bachelor program.

Foundation streams

There are three foundation streams to choose from, each with 10 units and a learning forum component.

You will be allocated to the stream based on your selected bachelor degree and progression requirements (i.e. degree pre-requisites). For example, students who will be studying Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) will be allocated to a stream where they will study mathematics and science, and a Bachelor of Creative Industries student will be learning about creative design and creative practice.
