This short enabling course (UniPrep) prepares students for university-level study by teaching them the required skills for academic success, with an emphasis on the student becoming an independent learner. Conducted in a supportive and hands-on environment, the course covers learning skills, research and writing processes, numeracy tools and accessing knowledge. Additionally, students will be introduced to university life at ECU and will have access to course and career advice to assist in making informed decisions about undergraduate degree selection. Upon completion of the course, graduates will qualify for entry into a wide range of undergraduate courses at ECU. The course is suitable for both recent school leavers and mature age students who have not studied at university previously.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
This course may be able to be completed on-campus in a nine-week summer mode, prior to the beginning of first semester, so that students can get started on their undergraduate studies in the first semester.
