Take advantage of extra places at USC
15 November, 2004
QTAC cut-off date extended to December 24
If you have ever considered studying at university now is the
time to apply.
With extra student places and a range of new degrees on offer at
the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2005, your chances of being
accepted into a university course have never been better.
More and more Sunshine Coast residents are taking advantage of
having a university right on their doorstep according to
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Thomas.
"The people of the Sunshine Coast have embraced and supported
the university and each year our student numbers are growing,"
Professor Thomas said.
"People enrol at university for different reasons. School
leavers are looking for a way into a particular profession and to
begin their careers with an undergraduate degree.
"Students who are not school leavers are looking for a career
change, a promotion or to enhance their current career."
"Either way, our students find the experience of being at
university beneficial, not only for their careers, but also for
their own understanding of wider issues and for achieving their own
personal goals.
Graduating students of the University consistently rate their
experience at USC very highly and USC lecturers were awarded a
national five star rating for their qualifications.
Access to staff and resources is easy at USC with small tutorial
groups and a high computer to student ratio.
"Again and again, our students comment that at USC they don't
feel like a number, that because of our smaller tutorial groups
lecturers have the time to get to know them, support and encourage
them individually," Professor Thomas said.
If you are still not sure whether university is for you, be
assured that USC has transitional programs in place to make the
move to university study, whether full or part-time, much
easier.
The final cut off date for university enrolment for people who
are not school leavers is December 13. (Now extended to December 24
and includes school leavers)
