The Diploma in University Studies comprises eight courses and is completed in three trimesters spanning 12 months of study. Students are able to complete their Diploma in one of three areas of specialisation – Commerce, Science or Engineering — before completing the final years of a range of bachelor’s degrees and subject majors at UC.
The Certificate in Foundation Studies is equivalent to the final year of secondary school study and is designed to bridge the gap between high school and university entrance.
The Pre-Master’s Programmes offers a pathway into postgraduate study for international students who don’t meet prior study requirements, increasing access to master’s degree programmes in Business, Engineering, Science, Health, Education, and Arts.
