Pathways to University

Jill Morris

While TAFE Western qualifications provide for immediate employment they may also become a pathway to further education and higher qualifications.

Some TAFE programs like Higher School Certificate and Tertiary Preparation Studies are specifically designed to enable students to gain entry to University.

There are many university courses that offer students with TAFE qualifications some advanced standing (or credit) in their University studies. For more information about articulation and advanced standing please contact the University offering the course that interests you. 

Charles Sturt University

Charles Sturt University has special articulation arrangements for students who have TAFE qualifications.
