Choose from a range of units from CQU's bachelor degrees, gain an authentic insight into university life and start university early.

This program allows for possible eligibility for direct entry into a chosen course as well as credit towards a degree once the SUN units are completed. This saves students some of the stress of relying heavily on their ATAR score.
