The ANU College Foundation Studies Program is an excellent pathway into the ANU. The subjects on offer within the Foundation Studies program have been specially designed to provide students with the appropriate academic preparation for their intended ANU degree. Upon successful completion of the Foundation Studies Program, entry to the student’s chosen undergraduate degree course is guaranteed.

EXPRESS PROGRAM (8 months)

The Express Foundation Studies program requires students to complete eight subjects (plus one Computing Fundamentals) to graduate from the program, comprising: Academic English, Advanced Academic English and six degree-related and elective subjects in total. Students in the two semester program study one core subject (English) and three degree related and elective subjects per semester.

STANDARD PROGRAM (12 months)

The Standard Foundation Studies program requires students to complete twelve subjects (plus one Computing Fundamentals) to graduate from the program, comprising: Academic English, Advanced Academic English and ten degree-related and elective subjects in total.

For students in the one-year program, the third semester will consist of purely degree related and elective subjects. At the end of the first and second semesters (if applicable), students will choose their courses following a consultative process. This gives the student the opportunity to focus on their primary area of study as well as the flexibility to manage their own program designed to prepare them for future study in their chosen degree program.
