Year 11 and 12 students are given a taste of what it's really like to study music at the university.
The University Connections Program (UCP) (formerly University College program) enables students to undertake introductory level university units at the same time or in addition to their TCE studies in a number of different exciting units. These credits can also count towards a number of other degrees at the University of Tasmania and at other universities.

Wider University Information and Partnerships
The University Connections Program is providing a forum for the wider discussion of university preparation and pathways including raising aspirations of school students to attend university and an opportunity to further develop future preparation and pathways initiatives. It is also providing an opportunity to emphasise the University of Tasmania's commitment to work in partnership with the wider community.
