What will I learn?
Aboriginal Pathway Program builds the skills students need to study successfully at a tertiary level. All students undertake general courses to develop their tertiary learning, computing and academic literacy skills.
Students complete a variety of introductory courses which prepares them for future studies at an undergraduate level.
Course delivery
The Aboriginal Pathway Program is delivered in four regional areas; Whyalla, Mt Gambier, Port Lincoln and Ceduna, and includes intensive delivery on campus.
Support
Additional mentoring and support will be provided by local tutors and a designated Project Coordinator. Local tutors in the student’s location and during off-site intensives, will provide weekly tutoring assistance during the semester. Students will also have access to support from UniSA College staff, and online tutoring sessions will be held during the off-site portion of the course. There will be a range of scholarships available to students.
Accommodation and travel support may be made available for students who live at a distance (a minimum of 50kms from the delivery location) so that they can attend the intensive delivery sessions. Students must speak to their Program Director to discuss their travel options.
