If you lack the formal qualifications, entry rank or subject prerequisites for your preferred degree, completing a bridging course or enabling program first could be the answer.
Enabling programs can provide an admission pathway if you lack the qualifications required for entry to undergraduate study, while bridging courses can bridge the gaps in your knowledge and help you meet subject prerequisites.
