The Universities
The Colleges, which are government institutions, have a close association with the four Western Australian government universities and large numbers of local and international students from the Colleges have entered these universities after completing the Foundation or TEE Programs. Students studying the WAUFP have guaranteed entry into these universities on successful completion of their course.
The four government-funded universities of Western Australia have well-established reputations for academic excellence, providing quality education and professional support services for their students over a wide range of courses. Degrees from the Western Australian universities are recognised internationally.
Direct Entry Universities:
- Edith Cowan University
- Curtin University of Technology
- Murdoch University
- The University of Western Australia
The final scores for all subjects are based on 50% from continuous College assessments and 50% from external examinations.
WAUFP (Foundation Program)
To gain admission to university from the WAUFP a student needs to achieve:
1. a score of at least 50% in ELACS and
2. a Combined Percentage Score (CPS) in three selected academic subjects that meet the requirement for entry to the particular course of study at university. If a student elects to study four subjects, the three highest scoring subjects will be used to calculate the average.
Final subject scores are normally available within one month of completing the WAUFP. At that time the universities will make formal offers of places to successful students.
TEE (Tertiary Entrance Examination)
Arrangements for students undertaking the TEE program are slightly different. The requirements are similar in that students must gain 50% in English or English Literature or approximately 58% in ESL to meet the literacy requirement for university entrance. Students then need to attain similar average scores to the WAUFP in the 3, 4 or 5 other academic subjects they have selected to study.
Perth, Western Australia
Perth, a capital city of 1.5 million, is well known for its friendly and relaxed lifestyle, and is an ideal destination for international students. Built around the shores of the Swan River, the city is one of the most scenic in the world with an abundance of parks and gardens and a coastline of clean, white beaches.
Perth's Mediterranean climate of cool winters and warm, dry summers ensures a pleasant environment in which to study and live. The lifestyle is well supported by excellent health care facilities and a clean, safe environment free from the congestion of many other cities. Many Western Australians are migrants or the children of migrants. This rich cultural variety is reflected in the diversity of the city's restaurants, its festivals and exhibitions, sporting and recreational opportunities and the places of worship for all major religions. Perth has an excellent tertiary education system which includes four public universities, one private university, a number of vocational colleges and private business colleges. Over 19,000 international students make Perth their home each year.
Accommodation
Accommodation is an important aspect of student life in Perth, and the Colleges aim to ensure that all students are comfortably and safely housed so they can focus on their studies.
An accommodation officer is available at each College to provide a comprehensive and efficient accommodation service for international students. This includes:
- inspecting prospective accommodation
