University Pathways

Are you interested in further study including University? A Diploma or Advanced Diploma qualification from Central Regional TAFE enables you to enrol in a University Degree regardless of your age or high school results. We have articulation arrangements in place with leading Universities in Australia, including Curtin University and Geraldton Universities Centre, enabling students who have achieved their Diploma qualification to gain guaranteed credits into a related Bachelor’s Degree at select Universities.

Having a Central Regional TAFE Diploma and a University Degree will equip you with the best of both worlds for future employment opportunities. Gaining the industry-focused practical skills that Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification provides you with, as well as the academic knowledge that a University program confers will give you an advantage you need when seeking employment.
