Description

The Certificate in Liberal Studies is a non-award course, available as a UniAccess-Australia program.

This course is designed for students interested in a broadly-based program that integrates the study of Australian society with a wide choice of subjects and the development of communication skills. Students may choose subjects that provide credit towards the Bachelor of Arts or other undergraduate courses in areas such as education. The course is offered on a fee-paying basis and is available to Australian students (UniAccess-Australia).

The course assists students to prepare for a diversity of careers in areas such as government, industry, journalism, creative arts and education. This course provides an opportunity for students to study either a selection of units for personal development or a sequence of units in a particular subject area.

Pathways to Further Study

A UniAccess-Australia student who successfully completes four units specified by a UniAccess program may either leave with a Certificate qualification and/or make a direct application to ACU, against specified criteria, for a place in the Bachelor of Arts (or other Commonwealth-supported courses). All applications will be considered on the basis of academic merit.
