About this programme
The Undergraduate Certificate in University Preparation is a tertiary pathway course for students seeking alternative entry into the degree course of their choice. It may be suitable for recent school leavers who have not achieved the required entry-level ATAR, including those with no ATAR. The course assists with the development of tertiary literacy skills, especially English language skills in writing and communicating, and employment skills.
