The School Canning College has been preparing students to achieve entry into Australia’s leading universities since 1982. As a senior campus specialising in international education, it has a well-established reputation for providing local and overseas students with the personal and academic development and pathways required to succeed in tertiary studies. 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’s focus on international students, the College reinstated the enrolment of local (domestic) students seeking entry to university primarily through WACE courses. Flexible entry points into Canning College’s academic pathway programs allow international students to start studying in January, April, July and October, which gives them the opportunity to enter university degree courses sooner. Local and international students may enrol in Canning College’s Intensive English Program, Year 10 program, and Year 11 and Year 12 WACE programs. International and eligible local students can also enrol in Canning’s Certificate IV in University Access Program, Diploma of Commerce, and the Western Australian Universities’ Foundation Program (WAUFP). College staff are experienced in providing care, support and academic guidance to all students to help them prepare better for the rigours of tertiary studies. While Canning College has a special relationship with the universities of Perth, 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.
