Applications for Uni Step-Up Online are now open for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from regional, rural and remote locations, entering Year 11 in 2026 and interested in studying Nursing, Midwifery, Paramedicine, Business or Sports and Exercise Science

Uni Step-Up Online is a chance to experience university life by studying two first-year units while in Year 11.

Students build connections with current university students and staff and get a head start on what it takes to study at a tertiary level.

Uni Step Up Online is delivered fully online (one night a week over 2 semesters) at no cost to students.

Benefits to participating:
• Receive credit for a university degree: get credit for related undergraduate courses at Australian Catholic University (ACU).
• There is no charge: complete two university units for free.
• Get a head start for university: test out a subject area and develop your skills in academic writing and referencing.
• Small group size: cohort size is limited to ensure you have regular access to guided mentoring from current university students and staff.
• Pathway to further study: participants who successfully complete two Uni Step-Up units become eligible to receive an early offer to a related ACU course.

There are three study areas available for students to enrol in (Nursing, Midwifery, Paramedicine OR Business OR Sports and Exercise Science).

Visit the Uni Step-Up website www.acu.edu.au/usu and download the 2026 brochure for full details and to apply for Uni Step-Up Online.
