A UNSW Foundation Studies Program is your supportive pathway to the First Year of any UNSW degree. 
Our programs are designed to suit your academic and English skills and prepare you for studying at university. We support you with personalised learning, small classes and social activities to help build your future at UNSW. 

What is Foundation Studies Standard Plus Program?
A UNSW Foundation Studies Program is your supportive pathway to the First Year of any UNSW degree. The 12-month Standard Plus Program covers the same material as Standard, with a few extra subjects that suit your stream, such as Business Studies and Critical Skills and Collaboration. This program gives you more time to build your knowledge, skills and confidence before starting university.

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.

Who is this program for?
The Foundation Studies Standard Plus Program has been designed specifically for international students who have completed Year 11 with good general results but need support in building crucial English and critical thinking skills needed for university. If you haven’t met the entry requirements for the Standard Program, try this program or the Extended Program.  

As a pre-university program, you can select the stream that best aligns with your chosen degree, so your learning is more tailored. By participating in lectures and tutorials, you’ll have the chance to improve your English and presentation skills in a supported environment that will prepare you for your degree.

Leading to: Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) (Honours)
Are you a high achiever with a keen mind wanting to specialise in mathematics? If you’re interested in the increasing range of quantitative careers in areas such as finance and environmental modelling, this degree offers a strong foundation.

This four-year degree combines advanced coursework with an honours-level research project. You’ll also choose a major to specialise in a particular subject area.

Applied Mathematics
Understand and predict real-world problems and improve their outcomes. Mathematical methods and models are employed to find solutions not only for technical and industrial problems, but also for social, biomedical and economic problems.

Pure Mathematics
Study the foundation of all mathematics. This major is concerned with discovering the patterns and structures that underlie wide areas of mathematics. Although motivated more by a search for beauty and symmetry, this area of mathematics has led to major advances in many areas of science and technology.

Advanced Statistics
Explore the methodology for drawing conclusions from data - estimating the present, predicting the future and making decisions in the face of uncertainty. Modern statistics is a rapidly evolving science where innovations in technology present exciting new opportunities for collection and analysis of huge and complex data sets.

Major: Advanced Statistics
The major in Advanced Statistics has been designed to ensure that graduates are well trained in three key areas: probability and stochastic processes, statistical inference and modelling, and modern statistical computing methods. Third year electives allow students to further develop their statistical capabilities according to their own interests. Computing has become firmly entrenched in modern Statistics and our courses take full advantage of our excellent computing facilities. This will only enhance the portfolio of skills that students bring to their career.
