General English 1A | Federation University

GEEAP1001 General English 1A

General English 1A is the first five-week course of General English Level 1. Students who successfully complete the course will be able to articulate to the next five-week level course (General English 1B) in preparation for GE Level 2, the EAP program, and, eventually, tertiary study at Federation University. Students receive a progress report upon completion of each five-week course. Students in this course will be introduced to skills to help them understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. They will learn how to introduce themself and others, ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know and things they have. They will partake in scaffolded opportunities to interact in a simple way with other speakers in English, provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help in the creation of meaning.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
