The University has introduced a dedicated pathway for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to study some of our humanities, science and health degrees.
The Extended Bachelor's Programs include an additional year of study and allow Indigenous students to undertake studies in an academically and culturally supported environment.
All students commencing in one of the Extended Bachelor's Programs will be automatically awarded the Extended Bachelor Program Scholarship worth up to $20,000 per year.
As part of the program, you will have access to tailored academic support and tutors, mentors through our Mentoring our Brothers and Sisters (MOBS) program, with a wide range of courses and residential scholarships available.
