TAFE/VET Graduates
Applicants who have completed a relevant TAFE/VET award can be considered for university selection on the basis of their completed studies, in addition to other qualifications where relevant.
Candidates apply through SATAC and may be eligible to be considered for admission via multiple pathways or sub-quotas, with their rank in one sub-quota in no way affecting their rank in another. Eligibility for admission is assessed on the applicant's rank for the sub-quota in which they perform best. For more information on subquotas, please see selection criteria.
TAFE/VET qualifications that lead to university programs include:
- Completed Certificate IV awards (including former Advanced Certificates and some other Certificates) meet the minimum entry requirements for most undergraduate programs offered by the university.
- Completed Diplomas (formerly called Associate Diploma) or Advanced Diplomas meet the minimum entry requirement for programs in the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences (although prerequisites must also be met) and some Faculty of Health Sciences programs.
Many faculties grant status (also known as credit or advanced standing) for previous TAFE/VET studies. For further information see the Pathways and Credit Transfer Guide or the relevant faculty to which you are applying.
