Ascension Education is proud to announce that it will be returning to The University of Queensland for an open program in 2019. These programs are open to all high schoolers in the region as well as any young adults currently in a gap year, considering a career change, or looking to switch degrees. These pathways programs will be presented between 10am and 4pm on the 19th of October, 2019, and will be in the fields of medicine, law, engineering, business, and allied health.
As always, our programs will be facilitated by senior university students or recent graduates in their respective degrees. We use a small class-size setting to cover transitioning to university life, career options, course content, and admissions requirements. This gives students a real taste of a degree, before they have to commit to at least a semester of study and take on a HECS debt. Prospective students interested in attending the programs should register here. Last year at UQ, students gave their presenters an average score of 9.3/10 and indicated they felt 27% more prepared to make decisions about tertiary education, we look forward to continue and even improve upon these fantastic outcomes.

The University of Queensland is the largest tertiary institution in the state, so for many of our students who are considering UQ as an option, this will be an invaluable experience to come onto the grounds and learn a little more about what life there is like. We will also have a lunch time tour available to students, and UQ ambassadors joining us for lunch to answer any university specific questions students may have. However, as a completely independent organisation, we’ll also be exploring other tertiary pathways available, such as those at QUT and Griffith, as well as some of the options interstate.
You can find the link for registrations here. Otherwise if you have any questions or would like any additional information regarding the programs you can contact the Ascension Education here.
