Tertiary Preparation Pathway

Tertiary Preparation Pathway (TPP) is a bridging program that allows you to experience university life before jumping into a full degree. If you haven't studied in a while, TPP helps you brush up on essential study skills like critical reading, assignment writing and referencing. It can also build your knowledge and confidence in the subject areas you'll need for your degree, like science, business or maths.

Study up to four TPP courses (or subjects) from a range of options. Courses are offered in Semester 1 (February), Semester 2 (July) and Session 8 (intensive summer session, in November). You can study full time (four courses over one semester) or part time.

In this program you will:

• Study TPP courses for FREE as a domestic student (Australian citizens, permanent residents and Australian Permanent Humanitarian visa holders, and New Zealand citizens). TPP courses are Austudy approved
• Study skills and knowledge to succeed at university, and provides a pathway to a USC degree.
• Brush up on essential study skills like critical reading, assignment writing and referencing
• Commence at the start of the year, midway through the year, or conduct an intensive course over summer
• Gain direct entry into most USC degrees on successful TPP completion

• Pursue more than 150 courses of study at USC alone, covering an immense range of professions.
