UNIVERSITY PATHWAYS
One of the biggest benefits of pathways is that they provide the skills and knowledge required for more advanced study, including courses at the university level. Higher education assumes that students have a certain amount of knowledge in the topic or area they will study. Many pathway options provide streams or direct-entry routes into corresponding higher education programs.
Associate Degrees (2 years full-time):
These can be used to gain direct entry to the corresponding Bachelor course and gain credit for the study you have undertaken.
Diplomas (12 months full-time):
The grades in a diploma program can be used to calculate your entry score, which will be considered in your application to gain entry to your chosen Bachelor course.
Certificates (5 months full-time):
The grades in a certificate program can be used to calculate your entry score, which will be considered in your application to gain entry to your chosen Bachelor course.
Vocational pathway courses (6 to 24 months part-time and full-time):
Successful completion of these courses will give you direct entry to your chosen Bachelor course.
