Back to top Program aims The Diploma of University Studies contains separate strands for both domestic and international students with a non-English-speaking background. The domestic strand aims to equip students with the necessary skills to successfully respond to the numeracy, literacy, critical thinking and e-literacy demands of higher education studies and the professional workplace, in addition to assisting students to successfully manage the complexities of life/work balance. The international strand, which is primarily for students from non-English speaking backgrounds, has a stronger emphasis on the use of English for academic and professional purposes and to develop strategies that equip them for successful university study specific to their professional areas. Both strands of the Diploma provides students with a broad introduction to the academic culture of university studies and an enhanced understanding and knowledge of foundational issues, principles and strategies needed in order to be successful in the first year undergraduate level of study, before providing students with four first-year undergraduate courses of specialisation in a discipline area. The program will appeal to domestic students who want to enhance and develop their broad award-level study skills prior to undertaking a range of discipline courses and determining whether to embark on a more specialised degree program, or opting instead to graduate out with a new sub-degree qualification. For international students from non-English speaking backgrounds, the program encompasses the development of similar generic skills but aims to initially develop their speaking, listening, writing, reading and mathematical skills, so that they are then able to participate successfully in their Australian university discipline activities conducted in English.

Back to top Program aims The Certificate of University Studies aims to equip students with the necessary skills to successfully respond to the numeracy, literacy, critical thinking and e-literacy demands of higher education studies and the professional workplace, in addition to assisting students to successfully manage the complexities of life/work balance. The Certificate provides students with a broad introduction to the academic culture of university studies and an enhanced understanding and knowledge of foundational issues, principles and strategies needed in order to be successful in the first year undergraduate level of study. The program will appeal to those who want to enhance and develop their broad award-level study skills prior to possibly sampling a range of discipline courses and determining whether to embark on a more specialised degree program, or opting instead to graduate out with a new sub-degree qualification.

Back to top Program aims The Accelerated Entry Pathway Program (AEPP) aims to enable school leavers to develop the skills, knowledge and attributes needed to successfully transition from high school to university study. The program provides students with the opportunity to develop the academic literacies required to locate, interpret, analyse and critically evaluate a wide range of information, including quantitative data, and to construct and support their own ideas and arguments. Students will investigate issues relevant to the context of higher education, engage in career development and planning and undertake tasks related to self-management, including goal setting, time management and planning. As learning will focus on participation in practical, authentic activities relevant to beginning university study, students will gain confidence in their abilities to manage their study. This program is designed to be a challenging program and will so appeal to Year 12 leavers who wish to enhance their readiness to transition into undergraduate programs.

Back to top Program aims The Tertiary Preparation Program (TPP) has two general aims. One of these is to enable people to achieve equitable access to tertiary studies to gain entry to an undergraduate program. The other general aim is to assist people to adequately prepare themselves to successfully undertake undergraduate study. Achievement of the first general aim is supported by the University’s policy under which people who successfully complete the TPP are admitted to specified undergraduate award programs of the University. Both general aims are served through achievement of the more specific program aim of enabling students to achieve mastery of the generic skills and knowledge that are essential for the successful undertaking of studies in undergraduate programs.
