About this program
The UWA Foundation Program Extended (12 months, UWC10) is a UWA College non-award pathway program delivered by INTO, giving international students entry into the first year of a broad range of UWA Bachelor's degrees across Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Biomedical Science, Commerce, Engineering, Mathematics, Science and Computing. It runs longer than the standard 8 month Foundation stream to build English language competence and subject knowledge for students who need more preparation time. Students in the February intake may also be eligible for Assured Pathways to Medicine or Dentistry.
