Flexible study

Launch your university journey with our FREE 6-month bridging program 

Tertiary Preparation Pathway (TPP) helps you brush up on essential study skills and build your knowledge and confidence in the subject areas you’ll need for your degree, like critical reading, academic writing, science, business or maths. 

Balance your life with study

It doesn't matter if it's been a while since you last studied or if you haven't studied before, UniSC gives everyone the opportunity to pursue their study and career goals.


Study part time

We get it, you have a life. So even if you’re juggling study with work and family, you can commit to a study load that suits you, from as little as 1-2 courses per Trimester.

Choose blended or online study

Many of our degrees are online, meaning you have the flexibility to attend your classes from home but can still access all the facilities and services available across all UniSC campuses.

If you would prefer to be on campus our blended learning offers the best of both worlds – attend your classes in-person while accessing your materials online at your own pace.

Where do I start?

Find your dream degree 

Study options at UniSC include more than 150 programs over five campuses spread across South East Queensland with online and blended study options available 

If you haven’t studied in a while, or are feeling a bit nervous, why not start small with one of our pathway options.

Money to help you study

Our scholarships and bursaries celebrate different types of skills and support people from all kinds of backgrounds, giving you the freedom to focus on your study.

You only need to complete one application form to be considered for most UniSC scholarships. Each year, up to $4.3 million in scholarships is available, and nearly half of all applicants are successful.
