Monash South Africa Foundation Course

Why study the Foundation Programme?

If you don’t meet the entry requirements for direct entry to the bachelor degree you’d like to study, the Monash South Africa (MSA) Foundation Programme can get you there (provided all degree requirements are met).

This one-year programme, offered by MSA, provides a pathway between your highest qualification and the MSA entry requirements for undergraduate studies.

This programme is offered and certified by Monash South Africa. Successful completion of this programme could lead to a Monash South Africaundergraduate qualification, if you meet the entry requirements.

Course details

The Foundation Programme is split into six study streams which directly relate to the undergraduate degrees we offer. You can choose from Law, Social Science, Business and Economics, Information Technology, Science and Health Sciences.

You have two to three semesters in which to complete the Foundation Programme and all the requirements of the programme must be met within this time.

Completing the Foundation Programme does not guarantee entry into a course leading to a degree. Prospective students must also meet the requirements for the intended degree to be considered for admission into degree programmes. These entry requirements can be accessed at http://www.monash.edu.au/admissions/southafrica-entry.html.
