The purpose of this study is to analyse the differences in the International Foundation Programmes in Australia, China and the United Kingdom and to explore different University Foundation Programmes' effect on international student satisfaction, learning motivation and their performance in higher education. Through this research, it can be seen that improving the interaction between teachers and international students in the foundation stage, helping international students establish a certain sense of belonging, and integrating into the local culture is considered a key factor in improving foundation students' learning motivation and their satisfaction. The discussion of the research results suggests that some countries with imperfect international foundation courses should establish a more diverse curriculum system and hold highly interactive cultural activities to make it easier for students to integrate into the local culture, so as to help international students maintain a positive initiative and attitude when entering undergraduate studies.
