What's in the program?

Overview

Yapug will allow you to:

  1. discover your own interest in and capacity for on-going tertiary studies
  2. prepare for study at university level; and
  3. obtain, on successful completion of the program, a ranking which allows you to apply for a place in an undergraduate degree program at university.

In Yapug, you will either enrol in the full-time program (80 units) which is taken over one year (two semesters), or the part-time program which is taken over three or four semesters. Students should take no more than 40 units in any one semester.

Requirements for assessment in all courses must be completed. The assessment requirements will be set out in the course outlines provided for each course at the start of the semester.
