University Foundation Program
Sydney TAFE’s approach Our University Foundation Program is very flexible; you choose the subjects most relevant to you and your further study plans:
> Semester one subjects provide the opportunity for students to develop their research skills, essay and report writing skill, and seminar presentation skills.
> Semester two subjects focus on Australian culture, politics and economics – providing international students with a thorough introduction to Australia’s academic system and the Academic English skills and knowledge required to succeed at an Australian university.
One-year course. The University Foundation Program takes half the time of the two-year school-based program. Plus students only need to complete three subjects for an ATAR Australian university ranking.
Free tutorial support. Students have assistance in all subject areas.
Assessment throughout the year. Students’ skills and knowledge are assessed on a continual and holistic basis with regular feedback in small groups. For most subjects, there are no final exams.
Our University Foundation Program reputationDeveloped over more than 25 years in conjunction with universities, Sydney TAFE’s University Foundation Program has established an excellent reputation. Teachers are highly qualified with postgraduate diplomas, masters and PhDs in education.
As well as the Australian university system, our University Foundation Program is recognised by both the Australian Government and private organisations.

Post-study work rights If you graduate with a Bachelor, Master or Doctoral Degree from an Australian education provider, regardless of your field of study, you will be eligible to apply for a Temporary Graduate Visa – Post-Study Work stream. A visa in this stream can be granted for up to four years depending on the visa applicant’s qualification.
The Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) provides recent graduates with the opportunity to live, study and work in Australia temporarily following their studies to gain practical work experience to accompany their Australian qualification(s).
If you wish to take advantage of this visa arrangement and work in Australia after graduation, industry-related work experience is essential. Work experience demonstrates to an Australian employer a student’s initiative and expertise – valuable assets when competing for a job interview.
For more information about post-study work rights:Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/485.aspx

Thi, Vietnam Dental Technology
I came to Sydney TAFE to study a combined course of English and Dental Technology. I was especially keen on the structure SITEC offers. Really nice teachers have all been able to show me the best ways to learn. The library is excellent and allowed me to borrow lots of books and use the study space. I have had a lot of support from the customer service team, which has all added to the great experience I have had at SITEC.

“Be who you are. Don’t be scared to take a big step in this multicultural society, instead, open your mind and broaden your horizon.”

Kenneth, Philippines (2015 scholarship recipient) Information Technology
“I chose to study at Sydney TAFE not just because of the building designs, it’s about the education program they provide to students. Sydney TAFE provides an education system which is more focus on hands-on skills rather than theory, and the best part is that it doesn’t matter what marks you get from your class as long as you’re deemed “Competent” by your instructor you will pass. It lessens the competition between classmates, rather it gives them the urge to help each other so everybody could pass.”
