Pathways to UNE

Our programs combine competency development with academic rigour to ensure that graduates are prepared for higher level studies, with a range of learning and career development pathways to further vocational, undergraduate and postgraduate awards. Some examples include:

  • Several pathways to higher vocational awards for those completing a Certificate III or Certificate IV level qualification, where in most cases students can claim credit for one or two units into the next level.
  • Substantial credit towards the UNE Bachelor of Business for those who have successfully completed a Diploma or Advanced Diploma in a business or management field and are early in their management career.

We have also developed streamlined pathways for several clients from our Diploma and Advanced Diploma programs into postgraduate awards at UNE.
