The University of Canberra College (UCC) offers pathway programmes to the University of Canberra (UC), making quality higher education accessible to students who may find it challenging to gain direct university entry. With comprehensive pre-university courses, state-of-the-art facilities, and dedicated faculty, UCC empowers students with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in their chosen study areas.
The college’s International Foundation Studies programme is a 12-month course allowing students to enter into the first year of an undergraduate degree at UC upon completion. Students can build skills, prepare for university life, and meet any entry requirements or prerequisites needed for their degree during this time. UCC also offers diplomas in business, communication, design, IT, health, and science, enabling students to begin their undergraduate degree at UC with up to one year of credit.
The Graduate Certificate in Academic Foundations (GCAF) offers international students a pathway to coursework master’s degrees at UC’s Faculty of Business, Government, and Law and the Faculty of Science and Technology. This one-semester course is designed for students who have not met the direct entry requirements for a coursework master’s degree at UC, giving them the opportunity to develop and systematically apply academic literacies and research skills in an English language academic environment.
The University of Canberra College also offers a range of English language courses. Students can pick a course depending on their existing abilities in English speaking and writing, and which degree they wish to study at UC.
UCC students share the same campus with university students, obtaining access to the same state-of-the-art facilities along with an authentic and exciting introduction to university life.
