Succeed@UB

To assist students from a diverse range of backgrounds UB offers a number of transition programs to support students for a successful start in Higher Education study. These transition programs aim to develop your study skills to prepare you for the academic demands of university life. Whether you have just completed Year 12, or returning to study, these programs can be undertaken at various levels to suit those with a range of study experience. This academic support is available before study and continues through the duration of a student’s life at UB. We believe this gives all our students, no matter where they have come from, the best chance of success. For further information on our exciting transition programs, visit our Succeed@UB webpage.
