What it isThis is a one-year English and design foundation program for international students whose English skills need strengthening before entering architecture or design studies. You take intensive English classes alongside introductory courses in architecture, landscape design, and visual design to build both language ability and design thinking. It suits international students who have strong potential but need to reach the English proficiency standard the university requires for direct entry into degree programs.Humanities is the study of human culture, history, ideas, and expression through subjects like history, philosophy, literature, classics, and religious studies. You choose courses across these fields rather than specializing in just one, so you develop a broad understanding of how societies, texts, and beliefs have shaped each other over time. This suits people curious about why humans think and act as they do, who enjoy reading and discussion, and who want flexibility to explore before narrowing down.You study journalism alongside humanities subjects like history, philosophy, classical studies, and literature. This combines newsroom skills and reporting practice with deep reading and critical thinking across human culture and ideas, rather than journalism alone. It suits people who want to write and investigate for publication but also care about understanding context, meaning, and the bigger picture behind the stories.
