TAFE to University
The Pathways Program ensures that you gain the maximum benefit from your previous studies. Whether you come from Swinburne TAFE or another institution, credit transfer pathways are in place to help you enter the right course at the appropriate level.
International students should visit the International website for more information on TAFE to university pathways.
Minimum Requirements
Generally you must obtain a minimum of a credit average in your final year of TAFE study and pass all units of study. In some instances you may be required to obtain a distinction average in final year.
Please note that the number of places available to graduating TAFE students will vary from year to year.
Exemptions Based on Completed TAFE Qualifications
If you have completed an approved diploma or advanced diploma in the appropriate (or equivalent) field of study, you will be required to take a minimum of core subjects (which may include matched subject credits). These may vary between courses.
Where possible, exemptions granted will be matched against specific subjects, to ensure that prior studies are not duplicated.
Please note that achieving the minimum entry requirement to a degree course does not guarantee selection.
Pathways Direct
As an intersectoral university, offering both TAFE and higher education courses, Swinburne makes it easier than ever before to move between TAFE and university courses. In fact, if you are a Swinburne TAFE student, you may be eligible to gain additional benefits from the Pathways Program.
If you are interested in articulation from a TAFE diploma or advanced diploma qualification to an undergraduate degree, Pathways Direct will help you move to the next step without having to submit an application through VTAC.
A conditional offer will be made based on your results from the first three semesters of the program (approximately one and a half years of study) in which you are currently enrolled. The offer will depend on your successful completion of the final semester.
