This program guarantees entry into government and private universities throughout Australia, provided you also meet the universities' entry requirements. WA public universities include Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Murdoch University and The University of Western Australia. Successful WAUFP students also have guaranteed entry into the University of Notre Dame (Australia). Many students have also been accepted into overseas and other Australian universities.
The WAUFP is offered in three intakes: January Entry (10 months, January/February – November), April Entry (8 months, April – November), and Mid-Year Entry (10 months, July – May/June). The January and Mid-Year programs are suitable to all students who meet minimum entry requirements, while the April Entry program is an accelerated program suitable for above-average students.
Students receive 9 hours per week of tuition in English Language and Australian Cultural Studies (ELACS) and 4.5 hours per week in other subjects.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
