Academic Preparation Program (APP)

APP sessions are available for all new international students and topics include writing, study skills, research skills, taking examinations, time management, reading for meaning, referencing correctly, writing for science courses and problem solving. Simply register online once your university place is confirmed.

Learning Assitance

If you want to improve your learning skills and study efficiency, then you can organise a consultation on a topic such as preparation for examinations, structuring your thesis, tackling assignments, getting more out of lectures and tutorials, and time management.

International Student Advisors can assist you with anything from pre-arrival through orientation to departure, including how to manage your money, everyday life in Australia, and a wide range of university and community services available to you.
