Students contemplating undergraduate study at a tertiary institution are required to demonstrate certain prerequisite skills, knowledge and attitudes before they meet enrolment requirements considered appropriate for acceptance. Whilst the whole of the Tertiary Preparation Program provides for a variety of entrance standards, this unit provides the core skills that all students need to acquire in order to successfully undertake further higher education studies. Central to this unit is the concept that students should be able to take control of and manage their own learning, being confident in the decisions made and pathways selected. Also central is the notion that potential university students are expected to display a basic level of achievement in language skills. As the student population which undertakes a TPP is diverse in educational, social, geographical and economical circumstances, this unit seeks to provide a broad base which allows each student to begin from their own personal standpoint and develop the necessary qualities required to reach a shared goal. The unit is designed to provide optimum flexibility for each student.
Students progress through a program which requires them to manage their own learning and establish their own future goals through a process of self development. Career planning is a key component of the program. Effective study skills and attitudes will be developed and applied to areas of communication studies to prepare the student for entry into a tertiary undergraduate course. The language content is provided in a broad context to best enable students to continue in the career of their choice.
On successful completion of this unit students will be able
