Pathways
We have a number of options to help you get to where you want to go with your study.
“I learned how to study the best way I can. Through teachers’ support and with access to Uni facilities, I found a way of studying and learned very valuable skills.” Josephine, Year 10
Our flexible timetable allows you to undertake study at both Year 11 and 12.
If you have been accelerated in your previous school you may be able to undertake study at the Year 12 level while in Year 11. For example, a number of students have taken Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, Biology and English during their Year 11 study.
The University of Adelaide offers access to some of its first-year courses to USC students who have completed some Year 12 subjects through its Accelerated Headstart Program. Under this program, you can undertake university subjects and subsequently, if you enrol in a relevant course at the University, will be given credit towards your degree.
As a USC student, you are ideally situated to take advantage of the Headstart program, as you’re operating on the same timetable. We have students undertaking study in many different subjects across a range of disciplines in the Headstart Studies Program. These subjects can be counted towards their ATAR.
