FOUNDATION PROGRAMME

The full-time AAA Foundation Programme is an innovative, interactive one-year pathway programme to prepare students for the pace and challenges of higher education. 

There is ongoing support for students as they transition from school into higher education. 

Support is provided throughout the year with a focus on student-centred personalised learning, developing life skills, providing individual feedback as they progress and by encouraging independent thinking and learning.

This programme consists of 8 modules:

• Four modules focus on the essential academic skills needed for tertiary education including Academic English, Numeracy for Higher Education, Information Technology Fundamentals and Understanding Higher Higher Education.
• Four modules are discipline-specific, relating to the advertising and marketing communication industry.

By successfully completing this programme, students will receive a AAA Certificate of Completion.
