The University Entrance Program (UEP) provides an alternative entry to the University of Wollongong (UOW) for students who have not met the direct entry requirement to a UOW College diploma or UOW bachelor degree. The focus is on effective transition to tertiary studies and development of a positive student identity, with subjects specifically designed to develop effective approaches tolearning in the higher education context.
There are three different streams in the UEP program, allowing students to study subjects within a selected stream relevant to their chosen degree: Stream 1 in Business and Humanities, Stream 2 in Science and Information Technology, and Stream 3 in Engineering. The course is delivered in one session of 14 weeks duration, with an additional subject in mathematics required for students seeking entry to an engineering degree.
