Pathway programs

USQ offers students the option of several pathways to obtain a university diploma and/or degree. You can enrol in a program which will lead, upon successful completion, to acceptance into a USQ degree program. These programs include:

The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program is designed to prepare students from non-English speaking backgrounds for university education and provides an excellent link to the universities undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Classes focus on introducing students to the academic conventions and expectations as well as developing the language skills needed to succeed in higher education in Australia. On successful completion of EAP 11 students gain direct entry into their degree program.

EAP is offered at two levels EAP 1 and EAP 2, both are 10 week programs.

If you are unable to study in Australia, USQ can provide you with this preparatory program via distance education.
