High-achieving senior students can enhance their studies by participating in university programs while still at school. These programs provide an opportunity to experience university learning and gain insight into tertiary study across a range of disciplines.
Students may receive benefits such as:
- University course credit
- Subject adjustment points
- Additional QCE credits
- No tuition fees for approved courses
Students should choose a program that aligns with their goals and be mindful of balancing university study with senior school commitments, noting that university subject results do not contribute to an ATAR.
Programs available include:
- ACU – Uni Step Up
- Bond University – Student for a Semester
- CHC – Launch Program
- CQUniversity – Start Uni Now (SUN)
- Griffith University – Head Start
- QUT – Start QUT
- Southern Cross University – Scholars Program
- UQ – Enhanced Studies Program (ESP)
- UniSQ – Head Start
- UniSC – Headstart
Students interested in these programs should research suitable courses, ensure they meet university requirements, meet with a Guidance Officer, and follow both the school and university application processes.
