Foundation Studies - Fast Track Intake

Trinity College

The University of Melbournes 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, youll 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.

Youll 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, youd need to have prior knowledge of the subject if youre planning further study in the field.

These intakes allow students from some countries to commence the program during their secondary schooling. They can replace the final year of schooling in their home country with Trinity College Foundation Studies.

Some students ‘fast track their studies by starting later than the usual Main Intake. Fast track study is an intensive study style with higher entry requirements than Main Intakes.

Note: Music is not available in the Fast Track Intake.
