Nikita CharltonCompleted Foundation Studies in 2012 Student of Bachelor of Social Work
‘After seeing my mother and her best friend complete Foundation Studies and go on to achieve great things, I thought I could do that too. I left school after year eight and didn’t think that I had the knowledge or skills to be able to study at university level.
Foundation Studies has given me the confidence to realise that I can achieve. It has taught me to question things and to stand up for what I believe in. I have learnt to be critical and that it is ok to be critical. It also gave me an understanding of what study options were available so that I can pursue my passion. I have made lifelong friendships.
It wasn’t easy, but it was challenging in a good way. I had excellent support from the University to ensure my success. It has given me purpose and I feel inspired to go on with further study. I want to make a difference.’

We have always wanted to create a university where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students can be successful. That goal is written into the Act of Parliament which founded the University in 1991. You’ll see it symbolised by Reconciliation Stones and Acknowledgements of Country on each of our campuses, and by the flying of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags from our buildings.
Recently, we introduced our first Reconciliation Action Plan, or RAP. Our RAP aims to deepen respect and relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other groups within the University, and to deliver better opportunities and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and students. We are already well on the way to completing many of the actions in our first RAP.
We also have publicly announced our ambition to be a university of choice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in South Australia and beyond. This means that:
> We will create a complete and safe environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to grow and contribute to their communities and to Australian society more broadly.
> Through true partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations, we will develop the pipeline from high school through to postgraduate engagement, identifying and supporting the best and brightest young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Welcome to a University for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students

> We will support these leaders of tomorrow by creating an environment where they can learn, grow and define the future in a place that acknowledges, respects and learns from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wisdom, and celebrates the pursuit of knowledge in all its guises.
As part of creating a safe environment, we’ve also signed up to the national ‘Racism: It Stops With Me’ campaign.
This brochure describes the pathways and services that will help you to be successful in your university studies, and join the many other outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander graduates of the University of South Australia. I hope that you will join us.

As Ceduna is a focus for many Aboriginal organisations, there is a demand for programs in Aboriginal Administration at degree level.

Indigenous Tutorial Assistance SchemeThe Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) connects UniSA’s Indigenous students with academic tutors for each of their courses. This service is free of cost.
The program offers students access to qualified tutors located in metropolitan and rural locations with skills and experience in a wide range of study areas. Tuition includes all areas of study such as program content, time management, academic writing skills, essay planning and referencing skills, which will equip students with the qualities and techniques to graduate. Tutors are available to help with study and workload demands and to provide support and encouragement to assist with succeeding at UniSA.
Increasingly third and fourth year students are playing a greater role in tutoring first year students.
University preparation for Indigenous studentsUniversity preparation sessions (for new Indigenous students) are held before the start of the academic year. The purpose is to provide a solid and comfortable foundation for commencing Indigenous students.
These sessions provide academic and study skills and opportunities to make new friends, develop support networks and understand academic procedures and resources.
AIME MentoringAustralian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) provides a dynamic educational program that gives Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander high school students the skills, opportunities, belief and confidence to finish school at the same rate as their peers.
AIME has proven to dramatically improve the chances of Indigenous kids finishing school. AIME also connects students with post Year 12 opportunities, including further education and employment.
We believe that Indigenous=Success and expect all kids in our program to succeed.
AIME provides mentoring and educational services for Indigenous high school students to see them get through at the same rate as every Australian child. In 2013, AIME engaged over 2,000 Indigenous high school students and 1,000 university students across Australia. AIME plans to reach 10,000 Indigenous students annually by 2018.

Amanda RadomiBachelor of Arts (Australian Society and Indigenous Cultures)
Amanda Radomi has big plans for her Australian Society and Indigenous Cultures degree, which is helping her take steps to reach her lifetime dream; to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people in Australia.
As a parent Amanda has balanced her study and she sees the importance in working hard to improve conditions in Indigenous communities. ‘This area of study is so important to me because statistics relating to the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people in Australia are appalling and this directly affects me and my family,’ she says. ‘I want to make a positive contribution and with this program I know I can.
‘I am passionate about achieving justice for Aboriginal people in Australia and this degree takes me directly towards this goal. I was impressed with the University’s action plan targeting Indigenous retention rates for both staff and students, and I knew I would get the support I needed to make my dreams a reality.’
Campus life Life on campus can be as busy or as relaxed as you want it to be with a wide range of events happening all year round. Catch some live music, browse markets, take part in UniSA Sport on campus or grab brekky before class. When it’s time for a break, there are places to unwind including cafes, outdoor dining areas and gyms.
Campus health and fitnessUniSA Sport will help you keep active between classes through a range of on-campus sports activities throughout the year including yoga, pilates, self-defence and more. It is the place to go to join one of a number of sports clubs including football, cricket, scuba, rock-climbing, sailing, judo and more. You can also access health and fitness centres at our City East, Magill and Mawson Lakes campuses.
Food and funOn-campus music and events are a part of life at UniSA, commencing the year with the music festival Gear Up, featuring national and local bands and other festival attractions. Live entertainment runs throughout the year from DJs to live bands at West Bar, to art exhibitions at Samstag, movie nights, theatre, comedy and barbeques across campus.

You will learn the skills required for successful tertiary-level study as well as gain discipline-specific skills and knowledge with support from UniSA College staff. Studying a diploma allows you to build networks as you study alongside other undergraduate students in your chosen field.
Upon successful completion, you will graduate with a university diploma qualification. You will then continue seamlessly into the second year of your undergraduate degree at UniSA.

Foundation Studies students are taught on campus by UniSA staff, and have access to our full range of support services, leading to a smoother transition into a UniSA degree.
* Foundation Studies students are not charged course fees but may be required to pay student amenities fees as determined by the Australian Government.
How to applyApplications for the diploma programs and Foundation Studies are made through SATAC as one of your six preferences.

Your pathway into UniSAUsing your ATAR is only one of many ways to gain entry into your chosen degree.
Walha Udi Marvyn McKenzieBachelor of Visual Arts
‘I fell into creating art late in life as a means to explore, reaffirm and reclaim my diverse Adnyamathanha, Ngarrindjeri and Luritja Indigenous Cultural identity, language and heritage.
‘For 10 years I had just learned and created art alone, at my own little kitchen table until I decided to apply for special entry as a mature-age student into the University of South Australia’s Bachelor of Visual Arts, via the David Unaipon College of Indigenous Education and Research.
‘As a mature-age student I would like to encourage Indigenous Peoples, of all ages, to consider furthering their education at the university level, for such educational attainment may not only benefit the individual but all our Indigenous People as a whole.
Education changes lives and is the greatest single weapon to overcome Indigenous disadvantage.’

UniSA Bonus PointsFor students commencing university study in 2015 UniSA Advantage is a bonus points scheme that encourages participation in education as well as rewards achievement in selected Year 12 subjects that better prepare students for university study. The scheme includes two strands – Achievement and Aspire.
unisa.edu.au/bonuspoints
For students commencing university study in 2016 and onwards The three South Australian universities are replacing all existing equity and subject bonus schemes with two new bonus schemes. The two new schemes are the SA Universities Equity Scheme and the SA Language, Literacy and Mathematics Bonus Point Scheme.
The SA Universities Equity Scheme will provide bonuses in two ways: bonuses for all students in specified schools and bonuses for individuals experiencing disadvantage.
The SA Language, Literacy and Mathematics Bonus Point Scheme encourages students to strengthen their preparation for university studies by undertaking a language other than English, or specified English and Mathematics subjects.

Paying for your studies Your place as a domestic student at the University of South Australia is Commonwealth-supported. This means that you are charged for a portion of the cost of your studies, and the Australian Government contributes to part of the cost. If eligible, you can defer your contribution through HECS-HELP and repay it later through the taxation system. Your contribution will depend on what you study. See table for a breakdown of student contribution amounts for 2014, as per Australian Government guidelines.
