Pathways and credit transfer opportunities

Swinburne offers courses across a number of qualification levels from Foundation to PhD. This allows you to progress between different course levels, or gain maximum benefit from any previous studies – whether at TAFE or university, within Australia or overseas.

Foundation and UniLink pathways

Swinburne College delivers Foundation Studies and UniLink Diplomas which prepare you for direct entry into a bachelor degree at Swinburne.

TAFE pathways

TAFE courses are another degree pathway, offering independent learning with a focus on workplace and practical skills.

Diploma or advanced diploma graduates can pathway into a Swinburne undergraduate degree course, subject to academic performance requirements.
