The Undergraduate Certificate in University Preparation is designed to help students transition into university, offering foundational skills and subject credits. It provides entry into various courses and supports career changes or those who didn't achieve their desired ATAR.
Do you want to take the next step toward your dream qualification and get the best chance at success? If you're not sure you're completely ready to study, then the Undergraduate Certificate in University Preparation will give you the confidence - and in some cases even subject credits - to start your Charles Sturt University degree.
If you didn't quite get the ATAR you wanted, or you're considering a career change, this course is for you. Need help? If you're thinking about studying this course, contact us. If you're a current student, please get in touch with your course director.
Completion of the Undergraduate Certificate in University Preparation will provide entry into a range of our courses. You can find the full list here.
This course is part of an articulated program of study. Articulated programs allow you to build on your study to achieve the right level of qualification for you.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
