About the course
Macquarie’s Intensive Program is a short pathway course designed to help recent Year 12 graduates build the academic capabilities needed for entry to a chosen Macquarie bachelor degree. You’ll strengthen study and research skills, develop digital and STEM-focused capabilities, and learn in small classes with personalised support. Successful completion can provide a direct progression option into a wide range of undergraduate degrees. The programme builds core academic English, study skills, and subject fundamentals for university degree entry.
Career outcome
The Intensive Program is designed as preparation for bachelor-level study rather than direct employment. Graduates typically progress into an undergraduate degree across areas such as business, science, arts, education, engineering and technology. The skills developed—academic writing and research, digital capability, numeracy and effective study habits—support success in future university study, helping build a foundation for professional roles linked to the bachelor degree you articulate into. Supporting progression into undergraduate degree programmes in the chosen discipline.
