About the Open Access College

David Bull Director, Open Access College

Welcome to the Open Access College at the University of Southern Queensland. We aim to provide programs, pathways and solutions for prospective students to access the award programs of the University.

The College provides English language, preparatory and foundation programs and courses which will qualify both international and Australian students to articulate directly into USQ undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Our programs equip prospective students with the skills, knowledge and affective attitudes to ensure their success with higher education.

The College has a strong commitment to social justice and initiates and facilitates activities which foster greater social inclusion in higher education. The College particularly targets persons from social and cultural groups who are under-represented and will tailor programs of instruction and learning support to assist these students.

The College is also concerned with developing international and domestic institutional partnerships in education.

If you are a prospective international or Australian student, who is looking for an opportunity to change your life through further education, we believe we have a pathway or solution for you. Wherever you are located, and whether you study on campus or by distance education, you will find the academic and administrative staff of the College enthusiastic and helpful and willing to spend time with you individually.
