D2DDiploma-to-Degree university pathway is available. You can apply for a TAFE NSW course and a University Degree at the same time and apply for a single visa to cover the whole period of study.

TAFE NSW Degree

TAFE NSW degrees are offered at the Northern Sydney Institute. You can apply directly to enroll in a TAFE NSW degree program or choose to articulate on completion of your vocational course. The semester system for higher education degree programs operate differently to the vocational programs.

packageThis means that the lower level qualification can be included in the offer letter and upon payment, students can receive Confirmation of Enrolments (CoEs) so that they can apply for a visa to cover the whole period of study.

Disclaimer: Information in this course list is accurate as at July 2015. The Northern Sydney Institute, part of TAFE NSW continuously reviews its curriculum, to ensure it meets current industry requirements and reserves the right to withdraw and change courses at short notice. Please note that tuition fees and locations are also subject to review and/or change at short notice.

If you are interested in studying courses that are not included in this course list or if you are interested in studying a course in a location that is not included in this course list, please contact us. We will endeavor to assist you with your request.

Note: TAFE NSW operates on a semester system. There are two semesters per year – commencing February and July. Each semester is made up of two terms. There is a two-week break between each term.

Diploma to Degree pathwaysStart with us and finish with a degree

TAFE NSW Diploma to Degree (D2D) pathway programs allow TAFE NSW graduates to enter a Bachelor Degree program with guaranteed credit at leading Australian universities or to TAFE NSW higher education programs. Students study up to Diploma or Advanced Diploma level and then transfer with credit to the chosen higher education programs, completing the final years of a Degree course. International students can apply for one visa, which allows them to study in TAFE NSW and then university. Alternatively, international students can extend their visa onshore at the completion of their TAFE vocational course study.

20

The benefits of studying a D2D program with us:

It gives you a greater career advantage as you

receive a double qualification – a TAFE NSW Diploma and a Bachelor Degree

you will enjoy smaller class sizes (all practical classes have a maximum of 15 students)

you will receive personalised attention and support from teaching staff

you will be eligible to apply for

streamlined visa processing

When work experience is part of your

course, you will get valuable work placement in industry

When you study two years in the Bachelor Degree program either at TAFE NSW or at the university, on successful completion you become eligible to apply for

post-study work visa

The lower cost of TAFE NSW semester tuition fees, compared with university fees, can mean

that this is a cheaper way to complete a Bachelor Degree course.
