Tertiary Preparation Program

Want to study at university?

Even if you have not completed year 12 or it has been some time since you studied, USQ’s Tertiary Preparation Program (TPP) is the perfect way to start studying at university.

You will study courses (subjects) to develop your writing, computing and general study skills and build your confidence for further studies. You may also study some specialised courses to prepare you for the degree you wish to study. It is best to have a chat to our Student Relationship Officers before finalising your decision on courses as your choice of courses may have an impact later.

Best of all, you can complete your studies in one semester, so you should be ready to start your university degree in no time!

Free program

TPP is a free program and it is available to everyone (as long as you are at least 18 in the year you begin your studies and meet the citizenship and residency requirements).

We’ll support you all the way

USQ wants to give you every opportunity to achieve your dreams, so we want to give you a helping hand on the journey to university study. You will have access to great teaching and support in a friendly caring environment.

Pathway to further study

TPP aims to prepare students for entry to Uni. When you successfully complete TPP you are guaranteed entry to a degree at USQ. Now is the time to start your pathway to a career that you want. 

Tertiary Preparation Program Intensive School

If you are in year 12 and would like to start university in 2014 but don’t think you will qualify you may be eligible to enrol in our TPP Intensive School. The school runs over third semester (25 November 2013 – 7 February 2013). On successful completion of the TPP Intensive School you are guaranteed entry to a degree at USQ.
