About the Intensive Program
I was looking for an alternative pathway into university, so I decided to undertake Macquarie’s Standard Foundation Program. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made, as I constantly find myself drawing on the knowledge I learned in the program. I’m so thankful I found my way into my undergraduate degree through it.
