Foundation Program (091322F) + Diploma of Science (092487K) + Bachelor of Forensic Science - Forensic Molecular Biology (049312B)

The Foundation Program is designed for students that haven’t yet completed their high school education to Australian Year 12 standard, or equivalent. With small class sizes, teachers are able to provide a high level of personal attention, helping students develop the confidence and study structure for academic success.

The Foundation Program has been designed to prepare students for a diploma or degree in Arts, Education, Business, Commerce, Design, Engineering, Health, Hotel Management, Information Technology and Science. It’s structured to be completed over two trimesters (8 months), with English language, academic communication skills a central focus, along with computer skills and intercultural studies.

Once students complete course requirements for the Foundation Program, students can continue on into their diploma of choice.

The Diploma of Science will provide students with a solid understanding of the natural and physical sciences, including fundamental theoretical and practical principles of chemistry, biology, genetics; and for some pathways, environmental science.

Each student's study is enhanced by additional interactive workshops and language development modules to build the communication skills they need for success in science industries.

Students will also gain the necessary computational skills for scientific practice across observation, analysis and problem solving. The program will prepare them for further studies in a broad range of areas including biomedicine, environmental sustainability, chemistry and physical sciences, marine, wildlife and microbiology.
