It is fully accredited by the University, provides entry to all degrees at Murdoch University and is offered in the four streams shown below:

• Science

• Commerce

Each subject is organised into modules of 9 hours per week over a 15 week trimester. The course requires completion of 6 subjects and provides entry into a Diploma or the first year of Murdoch University Bachelor degree course. Students may study either 2 or 3 subjects per trimester to complete the full course in 8 or 12 months. Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) may apply.
