For students leaving secondary school and beginning the transition to university, the TPO provides the opportunity to join a global community and study a bachelor’s degree in Australia, New Zealand or the UK in just 120 days.
Striving to increase access for international students to gain a leading university education, UNSW Global’s purpose-built online program, delivered by OpenLearning, prepares students to commence a bachelor’s degree at one of the program’s partner universities around the world.
Launched in early 2021, the 120-day program is delivered completely online, accommodating time zones and supported by dedicated Study Coaches and Teachers. Combining curriculum from UNSW, a world top 50 university, with OpenLearning’s innovative social learning platform, international students can now pursue global education and career opportunities. The program offers course streams including Commerce, Actuarial Studies, Life Science, Physical Science, and Design and Architecture.
“As international borders reopen, school leavers around the world can once again consider travel, bringing with it the opportunity to explore global opportunities to study, work and live,” comments Sarah Lightfoot, Chief Executive Officer or UNSW Global.
“The UNSW Global online program exists to provide more international learning opportunities to more students. Our online learning solution now opens doors for students who may have thought studying overseas was out of reach.”

Throughout the program, students are supported by dedicated coaches to support them on their learning journey to ensure they are confident and prepared for the transition from high school to university.
