Foundation Studies - Comprehensive Intake

Trinity College - The University of Melbourne

The University of Melbourne’s Trinity College offers a world-class Foundation Studies curriculum, designed to set you up for success at university. Our unique course structure ensures that you develop the skills you need to excel in your future University of Melbourne studies.

Upon completion of Trinity College Foundation Studies, you’ll be proficient at:

• Speaking in front of others
• Working in groups
• Developing an argument
• Being creative, constructive, analytical and critical.

The curriculum structure:

• Two compulsory core subjects
• Three elective subjects

This structure allows you to develop the core skills you need for future tertiary studies, while building complementary breadth in your knowledge and capabilities.

You’ll choose elective subjects based on your particular areas of study interests at the University of Melbourne. For example, certain electives, such as Mathematics 1 and science subjects are prerequisites for entry to some University of Melbourne courses. As such, you’d need to have prior knowledge of the subject if you’re planning further study in the field.

A majority of Trinity College students will commence studies in one of the two yearly Main Intakes, in either February or August. This is the standard type of intake at Trinity College.
