Things you should know
Courses can vary considerably in form, entry requirements, duration, and method of assessment.
The academic year is generally from early March to late November, or mid-July to late June of the following year and is normally divided into two semesters, although some universities offer three semesters in one calendar year for certain courses.
Recognition of previous studies
Most Australian universities recognise prior studies undertaken in different institutions including vocational degrees.
If you have already completed a course in the same professional field, you can apply for a recognition of prior learning (RPL) which will allow you to reduce the duration of your program.
This can reduce the duration of your course by 30% to 40%! (which will also reduce the fees of your degree).
