Foundation Studies Extended Program
What is a Foundation Studies Extended Program?
A UNSW Foundation Studies Program is your supportive pathway to the First Year of any UNSW degree. Featuring a slower pace and more support, the Extended Program is a 15-month pathway that will help boost your English language and academic skills, while you become familiar and comfortable with university-style learning.
Our programs are designed to suit different academic and English skill levels, so you get the support you need from start to finish. This includes personalised learning, small classes and social activities to help build your future at UNSW, plus you’ll choose a specific learning stream that aligns with your degree.
