Pathways and Articulations SuniTAFE courses can give your tertiary education a kick start allowing you to gradually begin higher education study in an excellent learning environment before moving onto University. Some students choose to extend studies completed at SuniTAFE by applying to a related degree program at University and often gain Advanced Standing (credit) towards the degree. SuniTAFE has a partnership with La Trobe University which is co-located on the Benetook Avenue campus in Mildura. We also have articulation pathways to Deakin University, Flinders University, Charles Sturt University, University of Ballarat, RMIT University, William Angliss Institute and Box Hill Institute.

Deakin @ Your Doorstep - Swan Hill SuniTAFE and Deakin University together with Chisholm Institute of TAFE and East Gippsland Institute of TAFE, have formed a unique partnership for the delivery of a joint program delivering diplomas in Children’s Services, Community Services Work and Accounting alongside the Deakin University Associate Degree of Arts, Business and Science. This program enables students to gain valuable vocational skills in the diploma course studied whilst building a pathway to Deakin University. Key features include: • graduates guaranteed of the pathway to Deakin with up to 18 months credit in the course area; and • articulations into Bachelor of Education (Primary), Bachelor of Health Sciences, Bachelor of Management and Bachelor of Commerce. This provides a unique opportunity for people to stay engaged in learning in the Swan Hill district and to build both vocational qualifications and skills together with the capacity to build a learning career with Deakin University. For further information refer to the SuniTAFE Pathways to University Chart or visit the SuniTAFE website.
