Course overview

This is a Tertiary Preparation Endorsed Program - a school-based program in Western Australia that allows senior secondary students to earn WACE unit equivalents while meeting university entry requirements. 

In partnership with selected schools, our TLC Learning for Tomorrow program provides a pathway into Murdoch University undergraduate degrees with a Selection Rank requirement of 70 or below, helping you take the next step towards your study and career goals while completing Year 12.

Available at our Murdoch, Mandurah and Rockingham campuses, this free course introduces students to university-style learning in a supportive adult learning environment. You'll develop the communication, critical thinking, and academic skills needed for success at university while gaining confidence in your ability to study at a higher level.

Through the program, you will:

  • Think critically and analyse information
  • Conduct academic research
  • Use evidence to support your ideas and arguments
  • Develop effective academic writing skills

To get the most out of TLC, students must be committed to attending one TLC class after school each week during Terms 1, 2, and 3 of Year 12, and set aside time for independent study, including during school holidays.

This program is available to Australian or New Zealand citizens or permanent residents, as well as people who have arrived in Australia under a humanitarian or refugee visa.
