With the NSW Higher School Certificate underway for year 12 students, the question for most is “what am I going to do with my future?” The HSC is an important stepping stone to university, however it is good to know that there are also other pathways to higher education for students who may not achieve the pre-requisites or marks they need or who have changed their mind.

The Cooma Universities Centre can assist you in your post high school journey to tertiary education, whether that be with advice about a degree on campus, support to study via distance education or exploring alternative entry options.
The Cooma Universities Centres spoke to Lauren Swain, a student at the CUC, who recently completed her HSC. Here’s some advice she offers to all current year 12 students about the HSC and the future:
“My biggest word of advice would be - the HSC is not the be all and end all. Of course, try your absolute hardest because you haven't made it through 13 years of school to not give it a solid crack. However, do not let an exam take over your mental health and well being. Your happiness and health comes first, always. If you want something bad enough then you will get there eventually if you put in the hard work, dedication and passion. Remember you are young and you have lots of living ahead of you. The real world is just around the corner. Enjoy, breath, and just keep swimming!”
The CUC wishes students good luck with their exams, studies, and future educational endeavours.
The Cooma Universities Centre is again offering face to face degrees in 2017 in the fields of Education (Primary or Early Childhood Teaching) and Tourism & Events.
If you are interested in studying either of these degrees, or another degree via Distance Education, please do not hesitate to contact the staff at the CUC via email (info@coomauc.com.au) or phone 6452 3368.
