UNIVERSITY PATHWAYS
ADULT TERTIARY PREPARATION (ATP)Our Adult Tertiary Preparation (ATP) course is for anyone wanting to gain or improve their ranking in order to study at university. ATP is recognised as a Year 12 alternative and is ideal for adults who’ve been away from formal study for some time. Successful completion of the course will allow you to apply to QTAC for a tertiary ranking and will give you the university entrance pre-requisites in English, maths, and science.
UNIVERSITY PREREQUISITESIf you need to complete prerequisite courses to get you into your preferred university degree then our Unilearn courses can help. We offer a range of preparatory courses such as Senior Science and Maths A, B and C. Our courses are accredited by universities across Australia and meet university entrance requirements.
IMPROVE YOUR OPCompleting any TAFE Queensland certificate III, certificate IV, diploma, advanced diploma, or associate degree may improve your OP score and allow you to get into your dream university degree. Another added benefit of studying this way is that you can start working in your industry straight away, using your certificate or diploma skills while you finish off your degree.
CREDIT TRANSFERIf you study a qualification at TAFE Queensland you may be eligible to receive credit towards your degree. This is called a credit transfer and can save you time and money off your university degree. For example, if you complete a diploma course at TAFE Queensland you may be able to receive as much as one year of credit towards an undergraduate degree in a similar field.
STUDY A DEGREE WITH USWe have partnered with some of Australia’s leading universities to deliver world-class degrees in a practical, job-focused training environment. You will graduate with a prestigious university degree as well as the hands on skills and applied learning that makes TAFE Queensland graduates so highly sought after by employers.
Our diploma-to-degree pathways mean that you can complete a diploma and bachelor degree in the time it usually takes to complete a degree alone. You’ll graduate ahead of the pack with academic knowledge backed up by real-world skills.
Studying in this way will save you time and money. It can also give you a head start in the job market allowing you to put your diploma skills into practice in the industry while you complete your university studies.
