COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Western Australian Universities’ Foundation Program has been specially designed to meet the needs of international students.
The Western Australian Universities’ Foundation Program (WAUFP) provides international students with a reliable pathway into leading universities. It’s provided on behalf of the University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Murdoch University and Edith Cowan University.
On the successful completion of WAUFP, many students choose to continue their studies with Western Australian institutions, while a great number have also been accepted into overseas and other Australian universities.
FUTURE STUDIES
This program guarantees entry into government and private universities throughout Australia, provided you also meet the universities’ entry requirements. You’ll have a choice of universities and undergraduate courses.
WA public universities are Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Murdoch University and The University of Western Australia. Successful WAUFP students also have guaranteed entry into the University of Notre Dame (Australia).
TUITION
Students receive 9 hours per week of tuition in English Language and Australian Cultural Studies (ELACS) and 4.5 hours per week in other subjects.
ELACS is designed to meet the literacy needs of international students with the purpose of entry into leading universities.
The aim of this subject is to develop students’ academic skills of reading, writing, listening, speaking and viewing. These skills effectively prepare students for success at university level. At the same time, students increase their knowledge and understanding of Australian society and culture. This helps students to understand and adapt to the Australian way of life. Students are provided with 9 hours per week of tuition by highly experienced teachers.
Students in the April Entry intake receive an extra hour per week of tuition in each unit (other than ELACS). At the time of the final examinations in November, students in the April Entry intake will have had approximately the same total tuition hours as those who commenced in January.
Students select three or four of these subjects (subject availability may vary):
- Accounting and Finance
- Business Management and Enterprise
- Chemistry
- Computer Science
- Economics
- Human Biology
- Mathematics Applications
- Mathematics Methods
- Mathematics Specialist
- Physics
- Psychology
