Pathways from school

Educational pathways extend from school through TAFE to university. This enables you to maximise the value of your TAFE qualification. Not only can you use it to start your career, but you can also use it to gain credits and entry into a university degree. These pathways have multiple entry and exit points to suit lifestyle needs and career choices.

In Victoria, you can complete your senior secondary education in one of two ways. One way is to complete the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). The other way is to complete the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) through a secondary school or an Institute of TAFE. Either option leads to further study or employment. Many schools also offer VET in Schools subjects.

VCAL also gives you an entry point to study at Certificate III, Certificate IV, or diploma levels at TAFE. Being enrolled in VCAL at Wodonga TAFE allows you to study accredited units from courses at certificate or diploma levels. These units may be recognised, which can shorten the time it takes you to complete your studies if you decide to study further at these levels, and then into higher education.

The combination of TAFE training with university education provides students with both practical job-ready skills as well as underpinning academic knowledge.

CSU Foundation program

CSU's Pathway Program is a partnership between CSU and Wodonga Institute of TAFE to provide you with guaranteed entry into a CSU degree. The program offers a pathway to university for those students who wish to study at CSU but do not meet the entry criteria, or require further preparation.

What are the benefits?

The program provides supported learning for recent school leavers. On successful completion of the program, you will attain:

  • a University Certificate in General Studies from CSU
  • a Certificate IV in Further Education from TAFE and Senior English and Mathematics
  • guaranteed entry into CSU degrees (does not apply to degrees with enrolment quotas such as Dentistry)
  • credit for up to 4 CSU subjects in some cases.

During the program, you will be considered an enrolled CSU student, so you will have full access to both CSU and TAFE services and support, including computer labs, libraries and other on campus facilities.
