Advantages of the Foundation Year

The Foundation Year helps you make a smooth transition into university and prepares you for success by developing your study and learning skills.

Guaranteed entry to Monash University

You're guaranteed entry into a Monash University course if you:

• successfully complete your Foundation Year
• meet Monash's set entry requirements.

If you don't move into Monash University, you can keep studying at Monash College in a supportive environment through our diploma program, and go into the second year of a Monash University degree.

A first-rate reputation

We're proud of what we do because it's earned us respect from many sources. The Monash University Foundation Year is one of the most highly regarded programs of its kind in Australia.

A clear and easy way forward

When you're moving into tertiary study, there's enough uncertainty, especially if you're studying away from home. The Foundation Year gives students a pathway into an Australian university that's easy to understand and works with their future plans.

Choose your next move

Our Foundation Year students are accepted by all Australian universities. We'll give you a strong start for tertiary study, wherever you choose to go.

Students at the centre

In our program, we start with the student. We focus on their needs, abilities, interests and learning styles. Our teachers encourage their students to be confident, and prepared for undergraduate life.

Individual attention

At Monash College in Australia, we have small class sizes. This means our students are noticed. Our teachers step in to give the right support where and when it's needed.

Prepare for any faculty

A diverse program means our students get a well-rounded education. They find interesting and exciting ways to improve their English skills. With these skills, they're ready for any of the 10 faculties at Monash University.

Start when it suits you

We want to give you a tailored program to fit your needs. Therefore, we offer a range of dates for starting the Foundation Year that match up with university semester intakes.

Base yourself close to home

With our Monash College licensed partners, you have the option to take the program in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. When you've finished, you can apply for degrees offered at Monash campuses in Australia, Malaysia or South Africa.

Study in Australia

You can study your Foundation Year at a new, custom designed, and high tech campus in the heart of Melbourne. This campus has been developed specifically for students wishing to pursue studies at an Australian university, and allows for interaction with the community and use of Monash University faculties.
