Uni can be for everyone

First steps to attend university

The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) will offer a free course for Sunshine Coast adults who want to upgrade their academic skills, get a taste of university life and even start planning for a new career.

Uni Skills for You is a two-day program that will be run at the USC Sippy Downs campus on June 24- 25. It is designed for adults of all ages who did not finish high school or may have not studied formally for some years.

USC spokesperson Veronica Sanmarco said there are no tests, assignments or exams to worry about. It is just an opportunity to sample higher education and explore the career and higher education options open to them.

“The program aims to demystify university for those who are unsure about what tertiary study involves.

At the end of the course, participants can arrange to have individual sessions with USC career advisers to help develop study and career plans. Register at www.usc.edu.au/us4c or email pathways@usc.edu.au.
