This uni's free pathway program is a game-changer for people chasing their dreams

Life doesn’t go as planned for everyone — and they don’t always take the straight shot from high school to uni. But that doesn’t mean they can’t still reach their goals.

And that’s where Flinders University’s Foundation Studies program steps in — offering a free, no-strings-attached course designed for anyone wanting to give uni a crack.

With the program, you get to choose how you study. An intensive five-week sprint, or a more chill 10 or 14-week option to fit around your lifestyle.

All you’ve got to do is pass and you’re guaranteed entry to over 30 different degrees, from Public Health to Business, Criminology or Creative Arts.

Meaning in just five weeks, you could be lining up to start a new degree, fast-tracking that career switch and embarking on a brand new path.

The course is stacked with everything you need to hit uni running — study skills, digital literacy, academic writing and critical thinking.

It’s designed to set you up for uni success and, more importantly, make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

Plus, the flexibility Flinders offers is a game-changer. Outside of your ability to choose the length of your course, you’ve got options when it comes to how you study. Whether you’re more into remote, online classes or want to be on campus, they’ve got you.

There are sessions at TAFE locations and options for daytime, evening and weekend classes. So, if you’re balancing work, family or life in general, you can begin to make the moves towards your ideal future without compromising your needs.

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t hit the books since high school or never even thought uni was on the table. Flinders’ Foundation Studies is opening doors and making things easy.

The government-funded program is fully free, meaning there’s absolutely nothing standing between you and a shot at a degree.

Applications for 2025 are open, so now’s the time. Head to the Flinders University website to discover more on how you can kickstart your future and make your dreams a reality.

*Note: This program is government-funded and free for eligible Australian citizens, permanent residents, and New Zealand citizens who meet specific requirements.
