English for Academic Purposes (EAP)

So you asked about our Academic Pathways. At BROWNS we have many different academic pathways and direct articulation arrangements to different private partner providers, TAFEs, and Universities in Australia. So for example, after studying at BROWNS you might be interested in going on to do further study in a certificate or a diploma course. For example, Childcare or Physical Education or Cookery. We have agreements with many different providers where if you finish at a certain level at BROWNS you can go directly into these courses without needing to do the English exam called IELTS which they usually ask for to check that your English level is high enough.

So for certificate and diploma courses they usually ask for a 5.5. But we have agreements with these places where they say if you graduate from BROWNS and you bring us your BROWNS certificate, we accept that this course graduation is equivalent to or the same as 5.5. Even further, we then have arrangements with different Universities as well for their bachelor's courses and their master's courses. So you might want to go directly into a bachelor's or you might have finished your bachelor's back home and want to start a master's in Australia. Again, same arrangement; you have to finish a certain level at BROWNS, so our academic classes. And if you get the graduation certificate, you can take that to the University and they will accept that as being equivalent to the IELTS score that they need for you to start your University course.

So we have many, many different arrangements for many, many different courses. For example, University of Southern Queensland, CQU University, South Bank Institute, Metropolitan Institute, Gold Coast TAFE, we have many, many, many partner providers from which we can help you choose so that you get the course that you want to go on to. We have a Study Pathways Club once a month where we invite our partner providers to come in and give you information about their courses as well. So if you're interested, just let me know what you would like to do and we can make sure that we have both a counseling session with me and we can ask that they come and visit you at BROWNS as well to give you more information.
