Offered on behalf of the University of Technology, Sydney, UTS Foundation Studies is a pathway to UTS undergraduate degree programs and INSEARCH higher education diplomas. Designed for students as an alternative to Australian Year 12 studies who do not meet the admission requirements for direct entry.
UTS Foundation Studies is offered as an 8 or 12 month program.

Students can choose from nine different streams: Architecture, Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Design, Education, Health Sciences, Information Technology, Law or Physical Sciences. Each stream contains two core subjects, Academic English and Digital Literacies, and three subjects related to the discipline of the stream.

Australian citizens and permanent residents who successfully complete the UTS Foundation Studies program are eligible to apply for a commonwealth supported place in the first year of an undergraduate bachelor degree at UTS.  Applicants for a Commonwealth supported place are considered on a competitive basis. Students who do not achieve the grades required for admission to their UTS undergraduate degree of choice are guaranteed a place in the corresponding INSEARCH higher education diploma provided that they meet the academic and English language admission requirements

The UTS Foundation Studies program meets the requirements for Foundation Programs which have been registered on CRICOS for delivery in Australia to overseas students providing an academic preparation for seeking entry to first year undergraduate study or its equivalent.
