SCU College offers the tertiary bridging program Preparing for Success (PSP) and a range of Associate Degrees.
Preparing for Success
Preparing for Success is offered either as a 13-week program or available as part time study (up to 1 year). The aim of the program is to equip students with study skills appropriate for success at University.
