Welcome to UniSA College
At UniSA College, we offer a range of pathway programs to help you gain
alternative entry into university. If you don’t have the qualifications to gain
direct entry into your preferred bachelor’s degree, then we are here to help.
Our programs will prepare you for university study by building your academic
skills and prerequisite knowledge. You'll experience life as a UniSA student,
learn from UniSA staff and have access to a full range of support services.
Once you have successfully completed your program, you'll be able to
seamlessly transfer into one of UniSA’s undergraduate degrees.
We also offer pathway options specifically for Aboriginal students through
the Aboriginal Pathway Program, which is delivered in Adelaide, Ceduna,
Mount Gambier, Port Lincoln and Whyalla.
At UniSA College, we want to help you reach your potential and fulfill
your study and career goals. This guide can help you get started and
explore your options.
