UWSCollege – your
pathway to university
At UWSCollege we

your goals and build
a strong foundation
for your future.
Welcome to UWSCollege
Everything we do at UWSCollege is dedicated
to providing international and Australian
students with a pathway to university.
Our programs provide the academic
knowledge and English language
communication skills you will need for your
chosen field of study. We also ensure you have
the personal, cultural and social support you
need to stay focused and achieve your goals.
This framework of learning and support
provided by UWSCollege is called the
Academic Pathway Programs.
Academic pathways to university
UWSCollege Academic Pathway
Programs are the best way for you to
prepare for university. The Pathway
Programs include a fully accredited English
Language Program, University Foundation
Studies and a Diploma Program.
When you successfully complete* your
University Foundation Studies course,
you are guaranteed entry into the first
year of an undergraduate degree at the
University of Western Sydney (UWS).
By successfully completing** a
UWSCollege Diploma, you are guaranteed
entry into the second year of the
corresponding degree at UWS.
Owned by UWS
UWSCollege is wholly-owned by UWS
and is the University’s preferred provider
of English language, University Foundation
Studies and Diploma courses. This
means you are a student of UWS when
you’re enrolled in one of our UWSCollege
Academic Pathway Programs.
Campus community
As a student of UWSCollege, you are
already part of the UWS community and
have access to the University’s wide range
of education, leisure and social facilities.
2
UWSCollege campuses
UWSCollege operates on two of UWS’s
six campuses. English Language Program
and University Foundation Studies are
offered on Westmead campus. From 2009,
the Diploma Program will be available on
Nirimba Education Precinct at Quakers Hill.
Highly skilled teachers
UWSCollege’s commitment to delivering
high quality courses begins with the
quality of our teaching staff.
Our skilled, dedicated teachers have
detailed knowledge of UWS programs,
curriculum and learning objectives – and
many years’ experience working with
international and local students. They
know exactly what you need to succeed at
university and can support you in a learning
environment that is disciplined, yet flexible.
Small class sizes
Small class sizes at UWSCollege make
it easy for you to focus on your studies
while you get to know other students
and your teachers. This personal, relaxed
atmosphere also helps our staff meet
your individual needs on a daily basis.
Tailor your studies
We can help you tailor your UWSCollege
Academic Pathway Program to suit your
plans for a Bachelor degree. You simply
need to choose streams in your preferred
area of study and your transition from
UWSCollege to university can be seamless.
Extra tuition
There can be real benefits in undertaking
extra English and/or academic preparation
classes to meet university admission
requirements. If you are facing the challenges
of learning a new language and living in a
new culture, UWSCollege provides extra
tuition and support when you need it.

University Foundation Studies
University Foundation Studies provides the

enter the first year of your chosen Degree
at university, or to enter a Diploma course.
When you successfully complete** your
University Foundation Studies course, you
will have specialised knowledge in your
chosen field – and guaranteed entry to the
first year of the corresponding undergraduate
degree program at UWS, or guaranteed
entry into a UWSCollege Diploma.
When enrolling in University Foundation
Studies on Westmead campus you will
choose a study stream that corresponds
with your preferred university course.

***Successful completion of your Diploma requires a 50% pass rate in all required subjects.
****Subject to confirmation.
A Diploma is equivalent to the first-year of
a corresponding undergraduate degree at
UWS, so when you successfully complete**
your Diploma you can enter the second
year of your undergraduate degree at UWS.
You can also make an individual application
to any other Australian university.
The Diploma in Business and Commerce
and the Diploma in Information and
Communications Technology programs
are offered in two-semester (eight-month)

for you to fast-track your studies.
The Diploma in Engineering and Diploma
in Science programs are currently available
only in the three-semester (12-month)
format, although students who are eligible
for advanced standing may be able to

companies are in Western Sydney, along with
one of the largest undercover shopping malls
in the southern hemisphere – all contributing to
the region’s claim as the third largest regional
economy in Australia and helping to create a
high standard of living and wonderful part-time
employment opportunities for students, as well
as strong career opportunities for graduates.

Importantly, Western Sydney is also
well-served by Westmead Hospital, a

Diploma Program
In 2009, UWSCollege Diplomas are
being offered in the fields of:
• Business and Commerce
• Information and Communications
Technology
• Engineering
• Science.
In addition, we are planning to offer a Diploma
in Social Science** from February 2010.
UWSCollege Diplomas are equivalent to the
first-year undergraduate university program
in the relevant discipline at the University
of Western Sydney. When you successfully
complete* your Diploma, you can enter the
second year of your UWS degree course.
Diplomas are available in two-semester
(eight month) or three-semester (12
month) formats. The two-semester format
offers you a fantastic opportunity to fasttrack your studies and gain two valuable
qualifications – a Diploma and a Degree.
You can begin Diplomas at UWSCollege
in February, June or October.
After successfully completing* your
Diploma at UWSCollege, you can also
apply to other Australian universities by
making an individual application.
Two-semester program (Fast-track)
Fast-track Diplomas allow you to
complete the equivalent of one university
year in two semesters (eight months).
Each semester is 18 weeks.
Three-semester program (Standard)
Standard Diplomas are studied over
three semesters, which gives you a full
university year to complete your course.
This timeframe is suitable for students
with lower entry levels, or students who
may require additional support.
Academic Pathways Package – the way
to fast-track to second year university
If you want to complete your Degree as quickly
as possible, you can fast-track your studies
by completing a UWSCollege Diploma in twosemesters (eight months). If you are accepted
into the Fast-track Diploma program, you will
have the opportunity to complete a three-year
UWS degree in two years and eight months.
If you decide to combine your University
Foundation Studies course with a Diploma,
you will be eligible for a visa that lasts
for the duration of both courses. (See
Packaging Your Visa on page 39).
Degree entry requirements
for Diploma students
To successfully complete your Diploma at
UWSCollege you will need a 50% pass in all

an individual application to that institution.

period or don’t complete the period, you must
pay the total fee for the teaching period.

important that UWSCollege is notified in
writing as soon as possible. A copy of the
Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE), together with
the mailing address to which the refund is to

Visa conditions

course of study. Carefully check the
expiry date of your visa and whether it
covers all or just one segment of your
study, as listed in your visa application
and CoE submitted to DIAC.
2.A student visa does not permit part time
study. All students must study full-time.
3.Student visa information is also available

it is your responsibility to ensure
you are aware of, and abide by, the
conditions of your student visa.
4.Each educational institution is obliged to
report a student not attending classes,
or making unsatisfactory progress in
their studies, to the Department of
Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC).
5.Under visa regulations, you are required
to leave Australia on or before your visa
expiry date, unless an extension has been
granted. Applications for visa extension
should be lodged before the current
visa expiry date. Please note that some
documents take several weeks to process.

you inform UWSCollege in writing of any
changes to your residential and mailing
addresses as soon as possible.

2.Your Student Visa is subject to
mandatory cancellation if you work
in excess of 20 hours a week.
3.You have the right to work in Australia on

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
If you are coming to study in Australia for
the first time, you must pay for Overseas
Student Health Cover (OSHC) before leaving
home. You should indicate your preference
for health cover on the application form.
It is a student visa condition that international
students and their families have private
health insurance for the duration of their stay
in Australia. This health insurance must be
through the OSHC scheme. OSHC covers the
standard medical and hospital care expenses
you may incur while studying in Australia,
but does not include dental expenses.
Please note: Membership of a health
insurance scheme in your home country
does not exempt you from compulsory
OSHC. However, some Norwegian
and Swedish students covered by their
Governments’ health insurance schemes
may be exempt from the OSHC requirement.
Please refer to the UWSCollege OSHC
provider’s website at www.medibank.com.
au/oshc. As dental services in Australia are
expensive and not covered by OSHC, you
are advised to have a dental check and any
necessary dental work completed before
leaving your home country, or purchase
additional dental insurance in Australia.
Package your
international visa
There are currently several sub-classes
of student visa that cover the whole
study program, or particular courses.
UWSCollege Pathway Package

the administrative requirements of your visa.

studying a UWSCollege Pathway course and
then a degree at the University of Western
Sydney, a single visa will cover it all.

with an English Language course. Our
University Foundation Studies courses can
also be packaged with a Diploma course.
