Students receive support in the form of additional tutorials, additional English language classes, close monitoring of individual student progress, and relevant non-discipline units in Australian Society and English Communication Skills.

The courses are offered on campus full-time. Throughout these courses students will participate in normal class attendance and have access to additional customised lectures and tutorials and English language support through the ELICOS units.

Admission
