Program aims

The Accelerated Entry Pathway Program (AEPP) aims to enable school leavers to develop the skills, knowledge and attributes needed to successfully transition from high school to university study. The program provides students with the opportunity to develop the academic literacies required to locate, interpret, analyse and critically evaluate a wide range of information, including quantitative data, and to construct and support their own ideas and arguments. Students will investigate issues relevant to the context of higher education, engage in career development and planning and undertake tasks related to self-management, including goal setting, time management and planning. As learning will focus on participation in practical, authentic activities relevant to beginning university study, students will gain confidence in their abilities to manage their study. This program is designed to be a challenging program and will so appeal to Year 12 leavers who wish to enhance their readiness to transition into undergraduate programs.
