This is a permanent full-time position commencing Term 1, 2025
Canning College delivers programs that provide international and local students with pathways into leading universities. Established by the Department of Education in 1982, the College has a strong reputation for providing excellent educational opportunities and services through personalised learning experiences.
In the five years from 2019, Canning College’s expert staff focused exclusively on providing pathway-to-university programs for international students. In 2024, while continuing Canning College’s focus on international students, the College reinstated the enrolment of local (domestic) students seeking entry to university primarily through Western Australia Certificate of Education (WACE) Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) courses.
Flexible entry points into Canning College’s academic pathway programs allow international students to start studying in January, April and mid-year, which gives them the opportunity to enter university degree courses sooner. College staff are experienced in providing care, support and academic guidance to students to help them prepare better for the rigours of tertiary studies.
Local and international students may enrol in Canning College’s Year 10 program, Year 11 WACE, ATAR or General programs, and Year 12 ATAR program. International students can also seek to complete the Certificate IV in University Access Program, Diploma of Commerce, and the Western Australian Universities’ Foundation Program (WAUFP). Subject to meeting eligibility requirements, these courses may also be open to domestic students.
While Canning College has a special relationship with Western Australian universities, College graduates can enrol at all universities across Australia and at many universities across the world. Canning graduates have studied at universities in Australia, England, Ireland, America, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea and Singapore.
Canning College students pursue a wide range of degree courses including engineering, medicine, physiotherapy, education, law, pharmacy, nursing and computing.
