TRINIT Y COLLEGE FOUNDATION STUDIES PROSPECTUS 2018

START YOUR JOURNEY HERE! Trinity College was founded in 1870 after the model of the English colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. Affiliated as a College of and within the University of Melbourne, the first Warden, Dr Alexander Leeper, introduced a system of college tutorials to supplement university lectures, thereby establishing the College as a centre of academic excellence. Following in this tradition, in 1989, Trinity College Foundation Studies (TCFS) was established to provide an academically excellent, preparatory pathway for talented international students seeking entry to the University of Melbourne. Today, approximately 25% of the University of Melbourne’s commencing international undergraduate students come through Trinity’s Foundation Studies.

GUARANTEED ENTRY TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE TCFS is the only Foundation Studies program with guaranteed entry into University of Melbourne undergraduate courses for students who achieve the required scores.

ACADEMICALLY SUPERVISED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE TCFS is a rigorous and challenging academic program taught by leading academics. The program has been designed in conjunction with the University of Melbourne and is supervised by the University’s Academic Board.

CORE CURRICULUM

ENGLISH LITERATURE This subject is designed to improve English and academic skills by providing technical instruction and opportunities to read, discuss and write about a variety of literary texts. It prepares students for life in English-speaking environments, including universities and the broader Australian community. Literature requires students to explore poetry, drama, short fiction and novels. These texts highlight sophisticated forms of language and thought—such as symbolism, connotation, metaphor and narrative—which are essential to the broad and deep, wholistic analysis that is now required from students in all tertiary subjects.

Matthew Siy Cha, Philippines July Main Plus 2013, Bachelor of Science Studying in Trinity has provided me with a strong foundation for my first year in university and with adapting to Melbourne’s higher educational expectations and standards. Also, the very diverse community I met during my year in Trinity has been making life in Melbourne a lot more enjoyable.

Sharline Siy Cha and Jose Siy Cha (mother and father)

Stephanie Marie Siy Cha, Philippines August Main 2016 The friends that I’ve made in Trinity allowed me to learn about different cultures. More importantly, Trinity taught me to be independent. I can’t think of an easier way to have prepared myself for the sudden change in environment.

Sending our children to Trinity has been the best decision we have made for their education. It prepared them not only academically, but also helped them adjust to a new environment. This is where they met their friends who became their second family while away from home. Shane Siy Cha, Philippines June Main Plus 2012 Bachelor of Environments Masters in Architecture Trinity’s culturally diverse and friendly environment made moving to a new country far less daunting. I grew a lot as a person during my time in Trinity because of how easy it was to step out of my comfort zone. The friendships made and lessons learned truly made it an unforgettable experience.

STUDENT SERVICES Student Services plays an important part in ensuring students have an enjoyable Foundation Studies experience. Our focus is to enrich a student’s experience while studying at Trinity and equip them with transferrable skills that will be useful for them in the future. We help out with student enquiries, connect them with sporting clubs and activities in and around Trinity, and plan events throughout the TCFS year to bring students in all Foundation Studies programs together socially. Foundation Studies students at Trinity College are offered a wide range of extracurricular activities as part of an initiative named Trinity Lifeskills Club (TLC). This program aims to enrich the experiences of students while they live and study in Melbourne. Besides having fun outside their studies, students participating in club activities will also get to learn new skills and develop a network of friends and peers. Many of the clubs run at Trinity College are initiated and facilitated by staff members and student leaders. TLC covers a wide range of activities, ranging from sport to culture, music, entertainment and the environment —all enhancing the students’ physical, spiritual and educational development. Since 2015, more than 25 clubs have been established, including the Meditation Class, Tennis Club, Music Lesson, Cooking Class, Boxing Club, Badminton Club, Art Class, Movie Club and Gardening Club, just to name a few.

I particularly enjoyed the breadth of subjects offered at TCFS. Coming from a science background in high school, I was excited at the opportunity to study subjects like Literature, Drama and History of Ideas. These subjects ended up being my favourites and the ones I excelled in. In particular, Drama classes were what I looked forward to the most every week and really served as an avenue for me to hone my creativity.
