Answer 1

G'day,

Taylor's College historically was the foundation studies course for Monash University in Melbourne. Now they have just opened their Sydney campus.

As a student for foundation studies, you will still need to achieve a certain level of scores before able to enter the course that you'd like to study in a particular uni.

Foundation studies itself is basically a 1-year course for the international students to prepare them for university study. So it only offers very essential subjects for entry to uni (not as diverse as normal high-school subjects).

However, the course is now becoming less popular since the introduction of "University Level College" course. This is usually offered by the colleges/TAFE for limited area of studies such as business, IT or media studies only. Most overseas high-school graduates that cannot have direct entry to uni, will study for abt 1 or 1.5 years in college/TAFE, and then accepted in 2nd year of uni. This is faster compared to 1 year in foundation year and then enter 1st year of uni.

Hope this helps. E-mail me at [e-mail] if you still have any questions abt study in Australia. Good luck on your study and welcome to Australia :)
