University of Sydney Foundation Program - Standard Course.
You study Academic English Skills and 4 academic subjects in each semester.
Typically, you study A subjects in your first semester and B subjects in your final semester. This does not mean that the A subjects are necessarily a pre-requisite for B subjects. For most subjects, you could study the B subject before the A subject.
The academic subjects are studied as majors and minors. A major is when you study both the A and B in a subject (e.g. Economics A and Economics B is a major). A minor is when you study only the A or only the B of a subject (e.g. Economics A and IT B would be 2 minors).
You must study at least 3 majors and can then choose to study either 2 minors or a 4th major to make up your 8 academic subjects.
Academic English Skills and at least 2 of the majors you study will be your core subjects. This means they are either pre-requisite subjects or subjects you are assumed to have knowledge and skills in for your chosen degree.
