The Monash University Foundation Year aims to empower young people with the capabilities and behaviours to be inquiring, life-long learners with an understanding of their own identity and respect for other people.

To this end the core integrative learning opportunities focus on developing the talents and capacities of students to be team players with strong interpersonal communication and critical thinking skills which will be required for their tertiary studies and career.

The philosophy of teaching and learning embraced by the Monash University Foundation Year is based on a:

This philosophy of teaching and learning for pathway students is concerned to make a worthwhile contribution to students’ well-being and learning outcomes by providing a foundation with a holistic perspective that will equip students for entry into university life and give students the capabilities, skills and understanding necessary to succeed in the 21st century.
