UTAS encourages and supports people's desires and plans to study at University. For applicants who do not meet General Entry Requirements, we may be able to offer a pathway to bachelor level study via an Associate Degree.
The Associate Degree (itself a formal qualification for 2 years of full-time study) is offered in a number of disciplines:
- Aquaculture
- Arts
- Business Management
- Computing
- Furniture Design
- General Studies
- Music Studies
- Science
The Associate Degree, when offered as a pathway to bachelor level study, is a stepping stone process. It provides an opportunity for students to experience the requirements and demands of tertiary study, acquaint them with university life, and enable them to ease gently into study. Applicants offered a pathway option via an Associate Degree may only need to complete one or two semesters within the Associate Degree structure before being eligible to apply for transfer to a full bachelor degree.
Study in the Associate Degree may be full time or part time, and students can choose to study units from bachelor degree programs, as well as preparatory or foundation units.
UTAS is committed to guiding and supporting all its students to enable them to achieve positive academic outcomes. Our Pathways Officers work closely with the Student Advisers, who are available to assist all students, especially first year students, in their transition to tertiary study. Our Pathways Officers will liaise with the relevant Student Advisers on behalf of Pathway students so that services, support, information and advice, is available and accessible if needed.
We strongly encourage all applicants to explore the wealth of information, services and opportunities that UTAS has to offer students. Our web pages are a great place to start.
For Pathways advice, please contact one of our Pathways Officer, on Hobart (03) 6226 1985, or Launceston (03) 6324 3525.
