Course overview

The Unilearn Ready Program is an alternative pathway to a QTAC Selection Rank and can also help you complete your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). The Unilearn program is a great pathway for people who've been out of the education system for a while and want to build their skills and confidence or if you left school without the requirements for further study.

Completing three subjects in 30 - 52 weeks, this full time/part time program is delivered entirely online, allowing you to study at a time and place that suits you. You will need to complete the compulsory core subject Academic Literacy Skills and choose two of the following elective subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Introduction to Economics, Introduction to Mathematics, Senior Mathematics, Senior English, and Physics.

Successful completion of this program will provide you with a QTAC Selection Rank for entry into the university degree of your choice. Queensland students who need to build on already existing credits in order to complete their QCE can also earn a maximum of 11 QCE credits by completing this program.
