University to hold free information evening
The University of the Sunshine Coast will hold a free information session on Wednesday 15 October at 6.30pm for those interested in returning to study and completing a university degree.
This interactive event will give prospective students a chance to discuss with USC staff their study options, how they can improve their tertiary eligibility, and what is required to gain admission to university.
It also will feature information about financial support, scholarships and bursaries, USC’s range of support services, and other matters relevant to those returning to formal education after a period of absence.
To book a seat for this event, contact Tegan Piggford on 5459 4795 or email <schools@usc.edu.au>.
USC recently received high accolades for the quality of education it provides, with the 2009 Good Universities Guide describing the University as a five-star performer.
The annual Guide awarded top marks (five stars) for USC’s staff qualifications, teaching quality, graduates’ satisfaction with their overall university experience, and their satisfaction with the generic skills they gained while at university.
USC also scored well (four stars) for access by equity groups and for Indigenous enrolments.
The Good Universities Guide, produced by Hobsons, bases its ratings on data from the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and the results of the Australian Graduate Surveys.
