Pathways to university Southbank Institute of Technology has partnered with major Queensland universities to give diploma, advanced diploma and associate degree graduates recognition for the quality of education and training they receive at SBIT.
“I didn’t want to do a year of a general degree just to get my marks up. I loved being at Southbank Institute of Technology and learned great skills that now help me in my job and at uni. I found the job I wanted and my employer even offered to pay for me to study the Bachelor of I.T. at QUT where I went straight into second year”. Jess Wightman Diploma of Information Technology
Students can enter into a university degree course after completing a diploma without reapplying through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC). This is called a dual award.
84.2%* of Southbank Institute of Technology graduates go on to further study or secure a job.

Didn’t get the OP you wanted?
Credit transfer arrangement
Not getting the right Overall Position (OP score) isn’t the end of university study. Completing any Southbank Institute of Technology diploma, advanced diploma or Certificate IV in Adult Tertiary Preparation may improve your OP score, heightening your chances of securing a place to university.
A university will grant credit towards a degree for the successful completion of a related diploma (e.g. Diploma of Information Technology going to a Bachelor of Information Technology). The credit is pre-determined or pre-negotiated on your behalf but entry into the degree is not guaranteed. You still have to apply through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre or QTAC to gain entry into the degree, but once admitted to the degree you will be given the pre-determined credit on application. Often this credit is as much as one year of the degree**.

Southbank Institute of Technology is a recognised centre of excellence for its pathways to universities. Most SBIT diplomas and advanced diplomas articulate into degree courses with our partner universities. In many cases these articulation arrangements are dual awards.
So what’s a dual award? At Southbank Institute of Technology you can choose from over 80 diploma/degree combined courses - you complete the diploma at SBIT then go to university to take up a place that has already been reserved for you. You don’t have to reapply through QTAC. In most cases you get at least a year’s academic credit towards your degree.
Performance Level Assessment (PLA)*** Many SBIT diplomas and advanced diplomas have subjects (also called competencies) that have PLA as a supplementary reporting system. PLA is an additional way of rating certain aspects of student achievement. If as a student you demonstrate an advanced level of performance, you will be awarded a Credit, and a Distinction is awarded for exceptional level of performance. PLA has a number of advantages: • QTAC uses PLA results to improve a student’s Tertiary Entrance Ranking (OP equivalent) • If you are disappointed with your high school results, you have an opportunity to enhance your OP through PLA when studying a diploma or advanced diploma. You may be able to get a rank that is as good as OP 6 equivalent thereby opening up a wider range of university courses that were not initially available to you when you left school. • Evidence of additional effort and performance can also enhance your employment prospects.

* As at June 2012. QUT and Griffith University give bonus ranking of up to five points for a Diploma completed at Southbank Institute of Technology. ** The exact amount of credit varies depending on the specific details of each credit transfer arrangement. *** P lease note, not all qualifications offered at Southbank Institute of Technology have competencies with PLA attached. Generally it is not the whole qualification with PLA but rather some competencies within it.
