Foundation Studies Program (Standard), Leading to Bachelor of Science in Geography and Environment Up Education - University of Tasmania International Pathway College - Sandy Bay Campus, Australia

Foundation Studies Program (Standard)
Foundation Studies programs are a direct academic pathway to first-year undergraduate degree study, or equivalent. The programs act as a bridging course for international students who wish to study a university undergraduate degree course but don’t yet meet academic requirements and/or have the English language skills for tertiary study.

The Program is also designed to allow students to experience a focused study in an area of special interest or in specific disciplines that will better prepare them to study across the various sectors of their selected university course. It also helps students set and articulate goals and improve their self-management capabilities and confidence.
