The UC Prep program is for domestic students over 21 years who haven't studied in a while but are keen to start an undergraduate degree. This program is all about preparation - you'll get an introduction to university life while you develop or refresh your study skills. Once you've successfully completed the course, you'll be ready to tackle your degree. This program will also help strengthen your selection rank, which will boost your application for a UC undergraduate degree. Places in the program are Commonwealth Supported so there are no course fees for students. However, there is a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
