No matter what OP/ATAR result you receive, at USQ we have a number of pathways to help you achieve your study goals.
Accelerated Entry Pathway Program
The Accelerated Entry Pathway Program (AEPP) is a pathway program designed specifically for Year 12 students who haven't chosen an ATAR pathway or are worried they won’t get into uni. Use your end-of-Year 12 summer break to get uni-ready so you can begin your degree in the new year with confidence.
Tertiary Preparation Program
USQ’s Tertiary Preparation Program (TPP) is a free program that helps you develop the skills you need to successfully complete a university degree. Once you have completed TPP you have guaranteed entry to a range of USQ undergraduate degrees. TPP is offered all year round including the summer holidays, which means you could finish TPP over the end of year break and commence your chosen undergraduate degree in Semester 1.
Indigenous Higher Education Pathways Program (IHEPP)
Are you of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background and wanting to commence study at university? You may be eligible to apply for the Indigenous Higher Education Pathways Program (IHEPP).

Associate degrees
