TAFE/VET admission pathways

Upgrade your formal qualifications to degree-level and enhance your future employment opportunities with a special partnership between TAFE/Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Charles Sturt University.

The partnership offers a learning program that combines TAFE/VET and Charles Sturt study in one. It's the best of both worlds!

What's good to know

• We have several credit packages with TAFE partners and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).
• You may receive credit for your TAFE/VET qualification if it relates to the uni degree you've chosen.
• If you haven't started your TAFE/VET study, you can take part in an integrated program. Integrated programs are ideal if you're a school leaver, you want to change careers, or  you have work experience but limited formal qualifications. Integrated programs require you to co-enrol in both a TAFE partner institution and Charles Sturt before you begin your degree.

Our TAFE partners

Some of our partners also deliver Charles Sturt qualifications on our behalf. They also offer credit packages.

If you've completed a TAFE/VET diploma or advanced diploma, or Tertiary Preparation Certificate (TPC), you're eligible for guaranteed entry into most of our undergraduate courses.

Your previous study doesn't need to be related directly to your chosen Charles Sturt degree. You just need to have completed a formally recognised tertiary qualification.

If you've completed a TAFE/VET qualification other than a diploma or advanced diploma, such as a Tertiary Preparation Certificate (TPC), you could still gain entry to a Charles Sturt course.

Contact us to discuss your study options.

Eligibility of TAFE/VET graduates

As a TAFE/VET graduate, you're eligible for guaranteed entry to most Charles Sturt undergraduate degrees if:

• you're in your final year of diploma or advanced diploma study, or you completed your diploma within the last 10 years
• your diploma was awarded by a recognised Australian TAFE/VET Institution
• you're an Australian domestic student, or an international student who meets our international entry requirements
• you can provide certified copies of original transcripts showing completion of your qualification.

Eligibility of Tertiary Preparation Certificate (TPC) graduates

As a TPC graduate, you're eligible for guaranteed entry to most Charles Sturt University undergraduate degrees if:

• you have a Tertiary Entrance Score (TES) of 157 or above
• you're in the final stages of completing your TPC or you completed your certificate within the last 10 years
• you can provide certified copies of original transcripts showing completion of your qualification.

Some of our undergraduate courses have enrolment limits or specific entry requirements. Unfortunately, these courses are not included in the guaranteed entry courses for TAFE/VET graduates.

You can still apply! We just won't be able to guarantee your entry based solely on your previous tertiary qualifications.
