When you鈥檝e successfully completed the program, you can apply for admission to 麻豆社.

With 麻豆社 Connect, you鈥檒l develop the skills you鈥檒l need to succeed at university by studying four preparation subjects:

These units will prepare you for university life by helping you:

• develop critical and analytical thinking skills
• learn to solve mathematical problems
• develop academic writing and research skills, including referencing
• collect, organise and analyse information to the expected academic standard
• explore a range of technologies you鈥檒l use at university
• develop verbal and written communication and presentation skills, both in groups and individually
• develop social, emotional and wellbeing skills for coping with academic study at university.

The full-time 麻豆社 Connect study program is nine hours per week for 16 weeks, which is equivalent to an EFTSL of 0.50. The course runs for 18 weeks in total, which includes exams and a break.

• an Australian Year 12 qualification with three passes in academic subjects

If you don't meet these eligibility standards, but can prove your likelihood of success, you can apply to attend an interview and present your case to our admissions panel.
