Why Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pathway?
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pathway program is your first step into a university degree at Adelaide University.
It’s open to all people who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and is delivered over one year of full-time study or part-time equivalent.
Our program will prepare you for university by building your academic and professional skills. Once successfully completed, you’ll have the opportunity to transfer into an Adelaide University degree.
If you have never studied at university before – and thrive in a supportive environment – the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pathway program will help you meet your study goals.
Overview
Our fee-free Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pathway program will help you develop essential academic knowledge and skills. As an introductory program to university, it aims to prepare you for success in future undergraduate study across the full range of degrees at Adelaide University. You can choose from five study locations including Ceduna, Port Lincoln, Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Adelaide City West campus.
This pathway option is delivered in three blocks, with a series of entry, exit and transition points that cater to different educational backgrounds and chosen destination degrees. You’ll study a culturally responsive curriculum within your local community and engage with culturally specific courses designed by Aboriginal scholars.
You’ll study a mix of core writing, mathematics and elective courses, where you’ll gain confidence as a university student. You’ll also extend your knowledge and skills to meet any prerequisites related to your chosen degree.
We’ll support you to successfully pursue further university study. From enrolment through to program completion, you’ll get help via enrolment sessions, mentoring, small class sizes and access to peer-assisted study sessions.
If you wish to exit your studies after the first two courses, you’ll be awarded a certificate of completion, outlining your learned skills. If you exit the Pathway program after completing four courses, you’ll have guaranteed entry into a wide range of undergraduate degrees (some degrees may have a minimum GPA entry requirement so it’s always best to check before you apply). Completing all eight courses means you will have competitive entry into all undergraduate degrees if you also hold a competitive GPA. Please note quotas may exist for some degrees.
Key features
- Prepare for future studies with our fee-free pathway program.
- Get a taste of university and learn the skills you need for future study.
- Enjoy tailored study support in regional and metropolitan areas.
- Choose your own study path based on your preferred future degree.
- Use the flexible study options to help you balance study with work, social or family commitments.
- Open to all people who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
What you'll learn
During your Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pathway program you’ll complete up to eight courses, getting you ready for your chosen destination degree.
Some of your core courses will include:
- Introduction to Academic Writing
- Numeracy and Problem Solving
- Aboriginal Knowledges, Narratives and Experiences
- Critical Thinking: Media and Academia.
These courses will develop your academic writing, communication, numeracy, research, and study skills – including how to write academic assignments, cite research and effectively manage time. These skills and experiences will give you the right launchpad to navigate your future at university.
Depending on your chosen destination degree, you will also select up to four electives from a list relevant to your future study discipline. You’ll choose from the following discipline areas:
- Behavioural and Social Science
- Business
- Creative Arts
- Design and Humanities
- Education
- Engineering and IT
- Health
- Law
- Science.
The electives you choose will help set you on the path to your preferred undergraduate degree. You might want to tap into your analytical skills and pursue a data science or mathematics degree. Maybe you want to help our furry friends and complete a degree in animal or veterinary science. Perhaps you’ll reach for the sky and start your journey to becoming a pilot with our aviation degree.
