Pathway Programs - Southern Cross University

Discover your best path to University

There are many pathways to university. An offer on the basis of your high school results is just one.

For example, if you are applying as a school leaver, you may do so with an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) through Tertiary Admissions Centres like UAC or QTAC.

If your ATAR is not high enough for the course you desire, you can complete one of our fee-free pathway programs – Preparing for Success Program (three-month course) or Transition to Uni (six-week intensive course over summer). These provide excellent preparation for university, equipping you with the academic and study skills you need to succeed.

If you successfully complete a pathway course – delivered through SCU College – you may then apply for entry to a range of Bachelor degrees*.

* Some courses also have additional entry requirements such as an interview, refer to the relevant course page for further information.
