What is Intro2Uni?

Intro2Uni is a two-day short course designed to assist people who are considering enrolling at JCU but feel they need to acquire some additional skills and confidence beforehand.

You’ll get an introduction to skills like academic writing, study strategies and time management. You’ll also receive career guidance and advice on selecting the right university course for you.

During the two days, you’re able to get a real understanding of the ins and outs of university life and how it can work for you. We’ll discuss any concerns you may have around finances and how to balance uni with your lifestyle, such as part-time or online study. You’ll meet like-minded people and explore the resources JCU has to offer. Download the flyer.

If you’ve thought about what a difference a university degree could make to your life, but haven’t taken the next step, Intro2Uni is for you. It gives you an insight into university study, without the pressure of commitment to a full degree.

Intro2Uni is open to anyone who has left school, and has the potential to meet the entry requirements for JCU. You must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or holder of a humanitarian visa.

We have had attendees from age 19 to 55 years old and the course is run inside school hours, so if you have kids at school, you can still drop them off and pick them up.

You may worry you’re not cut out for university or be unsure if you can adjust back to study if you left school some time ago. Perhaps you have concerns about keeping up in class, fitting in or making friends.

You’re not alone. Many people allow these doubts to stop them taking the next step. The JCU team are here to guide and support you, building confidence as well as academic knowledge and practical skills.

Intro2Uni is the first step in your journey to becoming a successful and sought after JCU graduate.

Through the Intro2Uni program you’ll discover whether university study is for you, and if so, which JCU course suits your future goals.

You may choose to enter a one-year JCU Diploma of Higher Education, or perhaps your education, work and life experience may allow you to apply straight to a degree.

In some cases you may even be able to gain credit for previous experience, saving you money and enabling you to complete study sooner.

Completing Intro2Uni doesn’t guarantee entry into a JCU degree. However, during the program we can help you review your previous experience and discover what you can do to achieve your goals.
