WHY CHOOSE THE VET PATHWAY?
Complete a diploma in 1-2 years, then enter your bachelor’s with advanced standing, subject to credit approval and course availability.
Alternative entry pathways may be available other than direct higher education admission, with hands-on learning that builds both skills and confidence.
Develop study skills and English proficiency in a supportive environment before progressing to a higher education level.
ALREADY COMPLETED A VET
QUALIFICATION ELSEWHERE
Use your existing diploma to fast-track your degree.
If you have completed a diploma or advanced diploma at another Registered Training Organisation (RTO), you may be eligible for credit toward our bachelor’s degree programs. We recognise prior learning and can help you transition smoothly into higher education at Stanley College. Credit outcomes may vary based on individual academic history.
