“Initially I was a little nervous about returning to study. Being 22 and having come from working full-time, I thought it would be difficult getting back into the university ‘scene’ and developing good study habits again, but all of the staff at VU were extremely supportive and provided a lot of encouragement. My lecturers and tutors are all very friendly and approachable.

What are Pathways?

Pathways are formal admission agreements that recognise learning already undertaken by students. Most of the Faculty’s pathways are‘cross-sectoral’;thatis,theyrecogniselearning undertaken by students at taFE level. students admitted via a pathway are entitled to the credit outlined in the victoria university’s Pathways Database. this can be accessed through our website and typing in Pathwaysinthesearchbox.

this is an articulated program where students undertake the two-year Diploma of youth work and then articulate directly into the final 18 months of the Bachelor of youth work. the final 18 months of the hE program is condensed into 12 months by utilising the winter semester.

“After completing the Diploma of Liberal Arts in 2001, it seemed only natural to pathway across to the Bachelor of Arts. After all, I had a sister who only the year before had done the same thing. I watched her progress from a shy and unassuming person to someone who could speak broadly on a range of contemporary political and social issues. I was inspired.”“BackthenIcouldn’thaveknownthatIwouldbecomesoinvolvedinthewholeculture oflearning.TenyearsonandI’mstillhere,studyingmyPhDandworkingfull-timefor thefaculty.I’mwatchingotherpeoplewho,likemysisterandI,arethefirstintheirfamily to go to university. we’ve both used pathways to make this happen.
