Manea Senior College has partnered with Edith Cowan University (ECU) to offer students a university pathway through the UniPrep Schools Program. We have been offering this Program as a one-year, Year 12 course selection since 2021. However, commencing in 2025 we will also be offering a two-year, Year 11 and 12 version of the Program.

This Program complements other senior school studies by helping students to further develop their academic skills and integrates university experiences, including attending tailored open days at ECU South West. UniPrep Schools is an endorsed program that provides up to one-unit equivalent (C grade) for each of the four units successfully completed.

The UniPrep Schools Program contains four academically rigorous units: Future Ready Skills; Academic Literacies; Society and Cultural Studies; and Mathematics. Students complete all four units—over Years 11 and 12 – or in Year 12. On successful completion of those units and successful graduation, students can then apply for most of ECU’s undergraduate degrees (excluding courses with specialist entry requirements).

If you’re excited about the idea of a skills-focused university pathway that prepares you for the requirements of undertaking a university degree, then ECU’s UniPrep Schools Program could be the pathway for you.
