What are pathway programs?

Pathway programs prepare students for university study in various ways. These might include English language courses, bridging courses for specific degrees or specialised courses to develop study skills, like essay writing or IT.

Taking on a pathway program is the perfect way to make sure you’re ready to start your university degree in Australia.
