During the meeting, the two institutions discussed several programs offered by UNSW College, including the Foundation Studies programme, Diploma Programmes, and English Language Courses.

The Foundation Studies program is designed to academically prepare international students for direct entry into the first year of a Bachelor’s program at UNSW. The Diploma program is a one-year course that enables students to complete the equivalent of the first year of a Bachelor’s program at UNSW. The English Language Courses provide academic and communication-focused English training to help students meet the English language entry requirements for academic programs.

The meeting between UEF and UNSW College serves as a foundation for establishing a new collaborative partnership in the future

The representatives from both sides also engaged in detailed discussions regarding entry requirements, tuition fees, study duration, and admissions procedures. It was noted that upon completing the Foundation or Diploma programs at UNSW College, students can transfer to Bachelor’s programs at UNSW with recognized credits.

Following these initial discussions, the two institutions will continue to deliberate, review, and agree upon the elements necessary to implement the programs for students. This meeting also serves as a foundation for fostering a new international partnership in the future.
