Program Description Foundation Studies Program (Standard) - Life Science (X0F:4) (0100808): The Foundation Studies program is a direct academic pathway to first-year undergraduate degree study, or an equivalent. The program acts as a bridging course for international students who wish to study a university undergraduate degree course but who don’t yet meet academic requirements and/or have the English language skills for tertiary study.

To successfully complete the program, students must achieve a 50% pass in all units, including English.

Upon successful completion of the course, graduates can enter one of the University of Tasmania’s undergraduate degree courses.

Bachelor of Natural Environment and Wilderness Studies with Honours (S4T): The course aims to provide: • Advanced training and consequent in-depth knowledge within a particular discipline covered by natural environment and wilderness studies; • Training in research techniques relevant to that discipline to enable either postgraduate research entry or employment in research.

Each candidate will conduct research and write a thesis. The subject of this thesis requires approval from the Degree Coordinator. In addition, candidates may be required to study and pass either advanced level units, or a maximum of 12.5% of undergraduate units with extra assessment requirements, and/or undertake other activities, which may include the preparation of literature reviews, projects, reports, grant applications, position papers and seminars.
