Credit Transfer to University

Credit transfer means that your TAFE SA studies are recognised as being equivalent in content and level to parts of other education programs, including university degrees. 

Generally, the following credit amounts apply to TAFE SA award courses:

Courses at Certificate IV level or higher can be used to apply for entry into most university programs and some even guarantee admission.

Successful completion of a TAFE SA certificate IV, diploma, advanced diploma or associate degree can provide you with credit to enter one of the following seven Australian universities:

• Charles Darwin University
• Charles Sturt University
• Deakin University
• University of Southern Queensland
• Flinders University
• The University of Adelaide
• University of South Australia

Credit will normally only be granted after you have been offered a university place. To claim credit, you will be expected to formally apply through the international office at the relevant university and will be required to provide evidence of successful completion of your TAFE South Australia course.

Advantages of Credit Transfer to University

• Credit from a TAFE SA qualification into a connected university program reduces study load and duration of a bachelor degree
• Apply to your chosen university once you have completed your TAFE SA qualification
