The Deakin College Foundation Year is equivalent to upper secondary school (Year 12) and university foundation Year. It aims to prepare you for further study in a Deakin College diploma or for entry into the first year of a selected Deakin University bachelor degree.
The course consists of eight academic units: five core units and three elective units. Various support services focusing on language, literary and numeracy assistance are also available to help you in your studies. Each unit includes four hours of class contact per week. Assessment for all units is continuous and includes tests, assignments, and case study analysis. Most units have a final two hour examination. To graduate from the Deakin College Foundation Year, you must complete and pass all eight units.
