English to Foundation Studies/Fast Track Pathway Bursary

The English to Foundation Studies/Fast Track Pathway Bursary, offered by RMIT University, is designed to support international students who are looking to pursue their higher education in Australia. This bursary provides a reduction in tuition fees for students undertaking an Academic English program that pathways into an RMIT Foundation Studies or Fast Track program. This opportunity is particularly beneficial for students who need to improve their English language skills before commencing their main academic program at RMIT. By combining an Academic English program with a foundation or fast-track pathway and then an RMIT award course, eligible students can receive a 10% reduction on their Academic English tuition fees. The bursary is specifically for offshore applicants from designated countries in China and South-East Asia, aiming to ease the financial burden of their initial language studies.

What's covered

• Tuition Fee Reduction — 10% off the tuition fee for Academic English programs.
