Pathways

Pathways are an alternative form of entry into courses at CSU. These pathways offer options to enable students to study with us, and include alliances and networks with a range of education providers around the world to recognise programs for entry and credit.

CSU Study Centres

Our Study Centres in Sydney and Melbourne have built on our strong relationships with Study Group through Embassy CES, Taylors College and Martin College to enhance flexible pathways.

TAFE pathways

CSU works closely with TAFE to help you get the qualifications you need with minimum additional study. From receiving credit for previous study to undertaking joint programs, we will work with you to ensure you reach your goals.

CSU provides academic credit for many TAFE qualifications, which means you could fast track completion of a university degree.

As a general guideline:

• A TAFE diploma will generate credit worth up to one year of a three-year degree program at CSU, which means you could graduate with a full Bachelor degree in just two years of full-time university study.
• With an Advanced Diploma, you may receive credit worth up to two years of a three-year degree program allowing you to complete your degree in just over one year of full-time university study.

Note: The amount of credit awarded will vary across courses and is therefore assessed on a case-by-case basis upon submission of an application for admission. Confirmation of approved credit will be made when the student has received an offer of admission to CSU.
