Why is it Highly Commended worthy:

In 2020, the course moved from being delivered in partnership with TAFE to being wholly university delivered, allowing for a rich and authentic experience for students hoping to start a degree, including a new shorter course with guaranteed entry arrangements, and an online option, growing from 100 students on average per year to 320 in 2020 and 316 in 2021. Students come into the Pathways courses with diverse backgrounds and experiences. The teaching and support staff draw from their wealth of expertise in transition pedagogies, as well as their nurturing and supportive personas to provide students with the opportunity to build confidence, build skills, and be prepared for the next step of their educational journey.
