stepping stone to a university education. A significant number of TAFE graduates gain admission to Australian universities each year.
TAFE graduates need to apply through the Tertiary Institutions Services Centre (TISC) for admission to the public universities, visit

An articulation agreement has been reached between TAFE and the universities for several courses; this agreement guarantees
a direct pathway to the higher level degree course in the same area of study and also provides credit with exemptions for earlier
learning at TAFE. In effect some degree courses can then be shortened by up to 18 months.
