Considering Alternate Paths to University
By the QTAC Applications Team
Exploring your options, beyond the traditional path to university!
The journey to university isn’t always a straight line. Sometimes, it’s about finding alternative paths that suit YOU.
Alternate pathways to consider
Here are other alternative pathways which could lead you to studying your chosen course
Employment:
Your work experience could be your ticket to university, and most of the time it doesn’t have to relate to what you are applying for.
Find out further information on employment experience and documenting your employment on your application.
Bridging courses:
Most institutions offer bridging units or courses to meet subject prerequisites.
Find out about the various purposes bridging courses may be useful, and specific institution programs.
VET:
Consider Vocational Education and Training (VET) study for practical, hands-on learning. But check with the institution what they may consider.
Tertiary Programs:
Explore different programs for a higher selection rank to transition into your dream course.
Visit Course Search to explore your options, and check the Selection Rank Profile page for minimum selection thresholds for specific programs.
STAT:
The Special Tertiary Admissions Test can be a quick way to get or increase your selection rank. Check institution rules and if STAT is right for you before registering.
Remember, everyone’s journey is unique! Embrace the possibilities and discover the path that aligns with your goals and aspirations.
