Sunway’s Pre-University Programmes focus on
delivering university preparatory programmes to
equip students with critical thinking and independent

Highly rigorous quality assurance practices and external examinations are conducted, supervised and assessed by
the Curriculum Council. Our programme and academic staff development are moderated yearly to ensure quality
teaching.

Assessment & Examinations
The Curriculum Council conducts yearly moderation exercise to
validate that the assessment standards applied at Sunway are
consistent with that of Western Australian high schools.
The coursework component removes the pressure associated with the single end-of year examination,
and provides opportunities to use multiple assessment techniques to help students progress – continuous
assessments may include topic tests, quizzes, assignments, investigations, research and examinations. This also
prepares students for the learning and assessment methods practised in many universities today.
Officers appointed by the Curriculum Council directly supervise and conduct examinations, and all external
examination scripts are sent to Western Australia for marking.

Calculation of Numerical Score

AUSMAT provides the flexibility of calculating a student’s score based on ‘Best-4’ subjects,
and English as Additional Language (EALD) can be included as a scoring subject.
AUSMAT score-counting system:
Scores from the ‘Best-4’ subjects provide the Tertiary Entrance Aggregate (TEA) which is then ranked for the
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) for University application. (Students must have a scaled mark of at least
50 in EALD or ENGLISH to qualify for WACE.)

PROGRAMME OUTLINE
Choice of subjects
Students are required to take five (5) subjects from the list below, including English or EALD*. Students will

Life on Campus
Whether you are from Batu Pahat or Burkina Faso, we welcome you to our student-friendly
campus. Your comfortable on-campus living and a safe environment are our top priorities.

Food For Thought

Eating outlets and places to chill out are aplenty
on and around campus. The spacious cafeteria is a
great on-campus place to hang out which includes a
canteen and more than 10 different stalls that serve
full meals or snacks at reasonable prices. Beyond
the campus compound, students are spoilt for
choice by the many restaurants and an immensely
popular food centre, all offering an endless variety
of delicious food with something for everyone at a
student-friendly budget.

On-Campus Accommodation
On-campus living makes it easy to get up and
about to and from classes every day. It is a home
away from home where students get to meet new
friends, learn new cultures and experience living
independently. Everything is within walking distance
from our campus - hospital, shopping mall, theme
park, restaurants and banks. Choose between the
communal living of the Sun-U Apartment or the
condominium lifestyle of Sun-U Residence. A caring
hostel master is on hand to oversee the welfare of
every occupant.

Safety & Security

Here, the committed security team is made up of
Auxiliary Police and trained professionals who work
around the clock to ensure that every day is a smooth
and peaceful one.
Whenever a student feels under the weather, they
can make their way to the sick bay. Endearingly
known as Nightingale Bay, it is situated near the
cafeteria where a matronly Registered Nurse is on
duty and well-equipped to handle minor ailments.
Campus
Facilities
For your studying pleasure, the Sunway Main Campus building is fitted

science laboratories and the expansive Tun Hussein Onn Library.

Student life here is simply convenient with amenities that meet all your
needs: a bookshop, computer labs to print, scan or photocopy assignments,
a cafeteria, recreational and sports facilities, and a Student Centre - a cosy
place with a sick bay, counselling services and more.
