Taylors College empowers its students to succeed. They believe that with a comprehensive introduction to academic excellence, everyone has a place at the top. The peak they reach is the University of Sydney — a world top 40 institution with a long, illustrious history of producing community-bettering leaders.

The College offers the University of Sydney Foundation Program (USFP) to guarantee a smooth climb to Australia’s most prestigious higher education provider. It was designed to assist students keen on pursuing an undergraduate degree there but do not meet the entry requirements just yet.

The USFP is just as accessible as it is versatile. The programme offers a range of start dates throughout the year to suit every timeline. Rigour can be discussed as well. The Standard Programme, Intensive Programme, and Extended Programme take 52, 40 and 75 weeks to complete respectively.

Aspirations play a key role when customising a curriculum. Alongside a professional, every learner’s University of Sydney bachelor’s degree requirements are evaluated to determine how little or how much time should be spent on the compulsory subjects of English and Mathematics. Experts merely recommend the rest — students have final say on how they will make their academic dream a reality.

The Foundation Programme offers comprehensive courses in Accounting, Australian Studies, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, the Foundations of Social Science, Foundations of Visual Art and Design and Further Mathematics, Government and Law, Information Technology, International Studies (Politics), International Studies (Economics), Mathematics for Business, Mathematics for Science, Media Studies and Communication, Music, and Physics.
