Foundation Studies Program (Standard) - Life Science (X0F:4) (0100808) + Bachelor of Surveying and Spatial Sciences (73G) (058833B)

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 Surveying and Spatial Sciences (73G): Surveyors and spatial scientists use their knowledge and skills to measure, map and model our world, playing a critical role in decisions that affect natural and built environments and which impact on people and society.

University of Tasmania graduates in surveying and spatial sciences are in high demand and find employment in a diverse range of industries and occupations. The degree has a strong technical and work–ready focus thereby providing a wide-range of local, national and international career options for students immediately upon graduation. Many progress to careers in land, engineering and hydrographic surveying, others join teams working in areas such as environmental management, geospatial analysis and land development planning.

The (optional) articulation pathway to a fourth year of study in the Graduate Diploma of Land Surveying also provides advanced knowledge and skills primarily for students wishing to continue on to registration as a Land Surveyor upon graduation.

Students will also be learning from the very best. The University of Tasmania is home to Australia’s top rated spatial research group* and lecturers are world leading experts in their fields.
