Alternative entry
UA offers two alternative entry programs for First Nations students.
The University Preparatory Program (UPP) is a free one-year program for anyone preparing to take on higher education. Wirltu Yarlu supports all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who participate in the program. The course is designed to improve numeracy, literacy and research skills while introducing university culture. For more information, click here.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Access Pathway gives First Nations students who would otherwise not have qualified for university an opportunity to enter a UA undergraduate degree, the UPP or a Foundation Program. This entry program is open to High School leavers, and mature aged students or those who did not obtain a year 12 certificate. For more information, click here.
