Foundations of successChoose from a range of English language and academic pathway programs that are right for your academic level and the ANU degree you plan to study.

Foundation Studies (page 16)Each pathway in the Foundation Studies program has been created to offer a route into one of many Bachelor degrees, across different subject areas. Foundation Studies is designed for high school students aged 16 and over who require additional academic preparation and to further develop their English language skills in an academic environment.

ANU Express (pages 26-28) This is a fast-track study program for high-achieving students, which covers a broad range of subjects to give access to many degree programs at ANU. A focus on research helps to prepare highly qualified students for academic life and success on a shorter timescale than Foundation Studies.

ANU Diplomas (pages 30-35)These programs are designed for students who have completed high school, and possibly another year of study, but have not achieved the required grades for direct entry into ANU, or need further English language training. By successfully completing one of the diploma programs you can enter the second year of a Bachelor of Information Technology, Arts or Music.

Access English (page 36) ANU Access English is a 10-week intensive course with a strong focus on Academic English. It is designed to equip international students with the academic skills and knowledge required to transition successfully to postgraduate and undergraduate courses at ANU.

Academic English Preparation (AEP) (page 38)This program has been created to help students advance their proficiency in using English in academic settings and to develop the study skills needed for university.

We have a range of programs designed to prepare you to succeed at ANU.

What’s involved?Students enrolled in ANUC programs are provided with excellent resources for their work. Helpful and experienced academic staff are on hand to assist in their studies. As well as timetabled lessons, students in English courses and the ANUC Foundation Studies programs have supervised study time, during which they coordinate their own learning and assignments.


ANU College has a dedicated and enthusiastic group of teachers who have

truly been a great source of motivation in my learning process. The rigorous curriculum

and academic philosophy of the college has been instrumental in helping me acquire the

academic skills required for tertiary education at The Australian National University (ANU)”

What does a week look like?

• English courses are conducted four times each week, totalling eight hours

• academic courses are conducted twice a week, totalling four hours

• Computer Applications are conducted once each week, for two hours (for semester 1 students)

• students also undertake two hours per week of supervised study time.

Eligibility to progress into semester two is dependent on a student achieving a minimum of 50 per cent in all courses.

Foundation Studies ExtendedThe ANUC Foundation Studies Extended program comprises the following courses in the first semester, all of which are compulsory:

• Foundation English

• Language of Mathematics

• Communication Studies

• History Makers.

What does a week look like?

• Foundation English is conducted four times each week, totalling eight hours

• other courses are conducted twice a week totalling four hours each

• two hours per week of supervised study time.

A minimum grade of 60 per cent in each course is required to continue into semester two. The second and third semesters of the program follow the same structure and progress rules as the Foundation Studies Standard program.

AssessmentYou will be assessed throughout the program and in the end-of-semester final examinations. Students must pass final examinations in order to pass each course.

My teachers have passion to advance students’ ability. They always make the effort to teach individual students so now I have confidence to speak and write English. Before I studied in ANU College, I just expressed my opinion as broken English that I learned from Aussie friends. Now I can use English as my decent second language, not broken English.”
