e nrol in a triple award course that allows you to study concurrently at Southbank Institute and at a university acquire multiple qualifications at diploma and degree levels. Through recognition of prior learning, this linking, or articulation, creates a seamless pathway to higher qualifications.
Didn’t get the OP you wanted? 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 Preperation may improve your OP score, heightening your chances of securing a place to university.

Southbank Institute of Technology is a recognised centre of excellence for its pathways to universities. Most Southbank Institute diplomas and advanced diplomas articulate into degree courses with our partner universities. In many cases these articulation arrangements are dual awards.
Credit transfer arrangement 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**.
Performance Level Assessment (PLA)*** Many Southbank Institute 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: ■■
■■
So what’s a dual award? At Southbank Institute of Technology, choose from over 50 diploma/degree combined courses - you complete the diploma at Southbank Institute 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.
■■
TAC uses PLA results to improve a student’s Tertiary Q 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 21 December 2008. QUT and Griffith University give bonus ranking of up to five points for a Diploma completed at Southbank Institute. This is compentency
based training and assumes competency will be achieved in every course (subject). ** The exact amount of credit varies depending on the specific details of each credit transfer arrangement. *** Please note, not all qualifications offered at Southbank Institute have competencies with PLA attached. Generally it is not the whole qualification with PLA but rather some competencies within it.
