The Western Australia Universities’ Foundation Program (WAUFP)

The program’s aim is to prepare international students for first-year undergraduate study in one of the universities of Western Australia by:

• Providing a program that enables students to concentrate on courses that will be of most use in their chosen university course;

• Providing course work that will assist students to settle into the Australian community;

• Developing a variety of study skills in relation to note making, assignment preparation and presentation, preparing for and sitting examinations;

• Developing English language competency.

• Students will be able to study fewer courses, giving students time to study each course, hopefully enabling a higher mark;

• Students will only be required to study courses that will assist with a chosen university course;

• English Language and Australian Cultural Studies Course (ELACS) which has been designed to develop the study skills most useful for university study; and

• It has a less complex set of rules relating to course selection and calculation of final results.

Points to Note: • The Foundation Program is now recognised by most of the Eastern States universities. Students should check for details at the International Office. • More information which compares the Foundation Program with the WACE Program can be found in a table at the end of this document (Appendix 1). • Due to changes in the Western Australian curriculum the word “course” replaces the word “subject”.
