People facing redundancy, suspension or significant reductions in work hours as a result of the economic impact of COVID-19 can now upskill or change careers with the help of a 成人大片 Study Grant. Called FutureU, the UC initiative will provide grants of up to $7500 per person to subsidise tuition fees.
FutureU is a targeted response by UC to help support the recovery of the New 成人大片economy following the COVID-19 outbreak.
鈥淲e are very conscious of the huge impact COVID-19 is having on people鈥檚 livelihoods and careers,鈥 says Professor Paul Ballantine, who heads the UC Business School.

Those who have lost their job or have had hours of work severely reduced (40 per cent or more) due to the outbreak are eligible for consideration. Applications need to be submitted by their employer and usual university entry criteria will need to be met.
Study options range from short-term qualifications to UC鈥檚 newly revamped Master of Business Administration (MBA). Various certificates and diplomas are available, with course costs starting from $435.
This is a unique opportunity, with a limited number of study grants available and only for 2020 enrolments.
For those wanting to reimagine their careers with FutureU, UC offers flexible study options (part-time or full-time) and excellent support services for adult students. The university鈥檚 student liaison team will assist people taking up grants with choosing the right qualification for their new FutureU.
