University of Southern QLD offers Tertiary Preparation Program, which garauntees you a place in your chosen undergraduate program upon successful completion of TPP.
http://www.usq.edu.au/ltsu/tpp/default.htm

However, it is only offered externally. All of your study materials will be couriered to you from USQ. TPP is offered in Semesters 1,2 and 3.

I completed TPP early this year, just before Semester 1 started, and I was able to get a place in the B.Ed program via direct entry application.

I strongly recommend the TPP program - the staff are wonderful, and the study materials are excellent.

Oh, and I've updated my post for anyone who wants a look - tell me if everything came out properly, lol .

I heard about that SIBT and Insearch are changing to having HECS as well.....
but of course ask their staff is better :P:P

Macquarie Uni ==> SIBT
Insearch == > UTS

Just wondering what's the equivalent institutions for UNSW and USYD?

Due to SIBT and Insearch are awarding a Diploma after you grad. there then you can proceed to Year 2 ....UNSW and USyd. don't have such kind of program....

But UNSW and USyd. do have foundation program (UNSWF and Taylors College) .... after you grad. there you'll start year 1 in UNSW and USyd.

i just received a letter from UWS regarding the RET.
Does any other uni do this as well, offer this scheme?

As you can see in the second post of this thread, other universities do offer similar schemes however the RET is for UWS only. However, the RET uses the STAT which is one of the criteria used for entry to USYD Pharmacy and Veterinary Science as well as mature aged entry at various unis.

I am currently using a alternative pathway to uni.

(BA Nursing, BA Midwifery, BA nursing/BA science)

I completed certificate 3 and 4 in aged care at high distinction level. Which is enough for entry in my chosen profession in almost every uni in the country. but i wanted to do my BA externally so i opted to complete a "Open Universities" subject via UNISA called SSk10 to improve my knowledge and skills surrounding university study.
From this i chose 1st CDU BA nursing, 2nd CDU BA nursing/science(double degree) 3rd UNISA nursing & 4th UNISA Midwifery, all of these being external.

I hope after 1yr of study with high marks to sit the UMAT and apply for BA med.

I don't find out till 15th jan 6pm where i get in. but most people i have spoken to have feel i will get my 1st choice.

Just thought my story might help some of you planning to use alternative pathways to uni.

I have to say I took the tafe route and received credit at Macquarie university for general credit.
So in my degree which is completely unrelated I do not need to do electives.

Hey, I'm a year 10 student and what I would like to do is go to an acting college such as NIDA and study my hsc there part-time. Since I want to only get into things such as acting, doing make-up, etc and childcare if that doesn't work out I don't really see the point in doing 2 more years of putting up with a bunch of old people yelling at me and like studying all this information everyday that I probably won't use when I already know exactly what I want to do with my life and want to get started.

What do you guys reccomend? Do you think it'd be best to finish this year, do the hsc in tafe as a part-time student and pursue my acting and other stuff in my free time or is there a university of some sort that specialises in acting and also helps you complete the hsc part-time?

hello

im currently enrolled into the course Pharmaceutical Sciences @ RMIT University. It was a course that i wanted to get into since start of the year. Im planning to do an honours degree and become a professional medical researcher or a pharmacologist.

I was just wondering, on the other hand, what are the alternative pathways to get into Pharmacy with my course either transferring direct or after completion. I'm just curious.

Hope to get a detailed explanation.

Hopefully this is an answer you are looking for...

Alternative ways to get into pharmacy courses inlcude:

1) A successful STAT/UMAT score
2) A very good tertiary record (high GPA) in at least one year of full-time study at Bachelor’s degree level (or part-time equivalent). Your UAI will not considered if you have done a tertiary record equivalent to one full-time year or more.

Here are a list of Australian institutions that have official pharmacy courses. I advise you to check out the recommended entry details for each one.

Charles Sturt University – Wagga Wagga and Orange, New South Wales
Charles Darwin University — Darwin, Northern Territory
Curtin University of Technology – Perth, Western Australia
James Cook University – Townsville, Queensland
Griffith University - Gold Coast, Queensland
La Trobe University – Bendigo, Victoria
Monash University – Parkville, Victoria (formerly the Victorian College of Pharmacy)
University of Queensland – Brisbane, Queensland
Queensland University of Technology - Brisbane, Queensland
University of South Australia – Adelaide, South Australia
University of Sydney – Sydney, New South Wales
University of Tasmania – Hobart, Tasmania

thankyou very much for your explanation. It was very helpful.

So are you trying to say if i do very good in my course this year, i can transfer to pharmacy? ... the thing is would my one year of study go to waste. I mean, in the bachelor of pharmacy degree pharmaceutical sciences is the major study. I hope i said this in an understandable manner. Dont want to confuse you.
If i do want to get into Pharmacy lets say, im thinking of Monash University @ Parkville, closest place i can go. Would you have any idea of their selection and transfers?
