Assisting students with post-school study options

Students who are interested in, and eligible for, direct entry to university still need to choose whether to accept their offer or defer and take a gap year.

• How you can balance university, work and life
• Gap years: making them work for you

Students who are interested in university, but who do not qualify for direct entry, can consider a range of options, including VET and TAFE courses. These can be pathways to study at a university.

• Real skills for real careers: vocational education and training
• Alternative pathways to higher education

Students can also explore Australian Apprenticeships, which offer entry pathways to more than 500 occupations across Australia.

• Australian Apprenticeships offer a world of opportunities
