TAFE Pathways
TAFE to University
The Faculty of Business and Enterprise offers a variety of special Pathways programs for students with a relevant TAFE qualification, such as a diploma or advanced diploma. These Pathways allow you entry into Swinburne's Bachelor of Commerce degrees with exemptions, making the duration of your course shorter.

Applicants undertaking a language double degree should increase the minimum time to complete by one year.
