TAFE

Whether you're coming straight from high school or the workplace, you can use TAFE study as a stepping stone into Deakin. By gaining a qualification through our TAFE partners, or using recognition of prior learning, you can shorten the length and cost of your degree once you get here.

Pathways from TAFE

Before starting your TAFE course, wouldn't you feel more comfortable and secure knowing there is a place for you at Deakin afterwards? By studying certain courses at one of our TAFE partners, you can receive credit towards your Deakin degree and save time and money by coming straight into second year at Deakin.

Whether you're transitioning from school or the workplace, beginning university study can be a big step. TAFE offers a staged approach to learning, making your move to university easy.

Completing a TAFE course before studying at Deakin means that you'll start your studies at Deakin having already attained one qualification. By the time you've finished at Deakin, you'll have two – something employers will love.
