Which one is better

[hj1981]

do all uni's have a prep package?

[tk1999]

Most of the ones I looked into when I was applying did but I am in NSW so it may be quite different

I contacted the uni and they sent me a whole bunch of info on the different pathways into their uni

They are going to have pretty much the same content I suspect...it is really down to the hours and which one is easier for you to attend. TAFE is looked on very favourably at most universities anyhow so go with your personal choice and good luck!

i did the tertiary prep through USQ i really enjoyed it i met some great people online who are now my very close friends and study buddy's i think it depends on where you want to go to uni through usq you have automatic entry to USQ only once you pass the course though if you did one through a tafe it would count towards your qtac application and you could apply to the uni's of your choice though you would be competing for a placement eg school leavers etc does that make sense you go for it

Hi HJ

I looked at doing some courses through Open learning Uni, but found that I couldn't then use that combined with my stat test score. I wanted to make sure that I could do that with whatever prep study I did to give myself the best chance of the best entrance score! The ATP is correspondance and you hve 6 months to do the units in, but you would have to do the language and learning module first and then the biology. Each unit is approx $150 in cost. I guess it depends with the Uni prep course through the Uni's whether or not it gives you more of an advantage doing it through them!

I know it's really overhwleming trying to know which path to take, but you'll get there in the end and be glad at how well prepared you are!!!!!

Let me know how you go with it all!

Harmony what course do you eventually want to get into? I work at a uni in brissie, and did my undergrad degree at USQ.

Candice - i wanna do BMid next year - now from what i gather i have enough to hopefully get me into ACU - but that is pretty far away - so ideally i would like to get into UQ Ipswich or Griffith Logan - i as far as i know USQ at Springfield dosent have undergraduate BMid - which in a perfect world if i did that would be the perfect location for me!

mamasupha - as u know im so confused with all this stuff - and yep it is so overwhelming!

Shazz - how long did it take u to do the prep course thru USQ? OH MAN if only USQ did BMid!!!!!

angelaartsstudent - thanks i think im going to need all the luck i can get!

I have a link from QTAC about the english requirements RE tertiary prep programs. (the uni's are at the top and the programs are at the side)

http://www.qtac.edu.au/Applying-NonY...requisite.html

USQ's TPP is accpted by all uni's for their english requirements.


I am not 100% sure how the course does get intergrated with my old OP to higher the OP.

I am doing Study to Suceed and Maths A this term (prebaby) and science next term (post baby). At the moment I am doing allright.

As a PP has said, it is great with lots of support online from other students and also from tutors as well
