How does university work?
First up, check out How uni works to prepare yourself for life at Western. Maybe you’re the first in your family to go to university? Find out what to expect, the differences between school and uni, and tips before you begin. At Western, we’re here to help you along the way.
Hot tip: If you’re in Year 12 (or will be soon) and want to apply for a program at University or The College after high school, you’ll be looking at ‘undergraduate study’. On the other hand, ‘postgraduate’ refers to someone who has completed a Bachelor degree and wants to take on further studies.
