Introduction
The Introductory Academic Program (IAP) is a three- to four-week pre-semester course designed specifically for Australia Awards and other scholarship holders who are newly arrived at the Hobart and Launceston campuses. It aims to facilitate adjustment to everyday life in Australia, Australian academic culture and student life at each campus; to develop students’ English language and academic skills for the successful completion of their chosen degrees; and to diagnose areas of difficulty and recommend ongoing strategies to assist with these.
