Frequently asked questions
If you’re considering studying in Semester 1 2027 – whether you’re exploring your options, switching course or uni, or advancing your career with further study – our Study Expo is for you.
Register for our Study Expo if you’re interested in a course within the following study levels:
- Vocational education (VE or TAFE): Includes pre-apprenticeships, apprenticeships, traineeships, trades, certificates and diplomas. VE offers practical, skills-based training for a range of careers and further study.
- UniLink: A UniLink diploma can provide a path into undergraduate study. It may suit you if you don’t meet the entry requirements for your preferred bachelor degree.
- Undergraduate (UG): Includes bachelor degrees, double degrees and associate degrees. Bachelor degrees commonly take three years, while associate degrees commonly take two. Double degrees let you study two disciplines and graduate with two qualifications. Course durations vary.
- Postgraduate (PG): Includes graduate certificates, graduate diplomas, master degrees and doctoral degrees. Many postgraduate courses require a previous degree, although some offer entry based on relevant experience. Depending on the course, you may be able to exit a master degree early with a graduate certificate or diploma.
We also offer alternative admission routes such as our Foundation Program and Fee-Free UniReady, which you can learn more about at the expo.
