Widening Participation Programs

The University of Canberra (UC) is committed to student equity in higher education, providing opportunities to people from a range of backgrounds. Within Student Administration,  Widening Participation manages delivery of several UC outreach initiatives. These are externally funded through the Australian Government's Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Programme.

The Widening Participation Team, including current UC students, works with participating secondary schools across the ACT and NSW. Within these schools we aim to engage students who have:

• a rural and/or regional background;
• an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background;
• a history of financial disadvantage; and/or
• little or no family experience of higher education.

· Raising Aspirations Online Modules

· Teacher Professional Development

· Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Outreach Programs

· Resources for schools and careers advisers
