Foundation Studies
Starting Your University Degree
University Placement by Student Advisers
Towards the end of the UNSW Foundation Studies programs,
the student advisers arrange a Faculty Information Day
and seminars. At these events students receive frst-hand
information about the many undergraduate programs
the university offers, and are able to talk directly to the
representatives of the different faculties. The student advisers
are available to discuss preferences with students before
university placement is made.
Once the fnal UNSW Foundation Studies results are released,
the student advisers assist in the placement of students into a
nominated university degree program.
