For School Leavers who want more than just a job

Your next step matters

If you’re passionate about your faith, your future, and making a difference, this could be the place to start.

Pathways

We offer many pathways for you to start, progress or complete your studies to get to your destination. For example if you don’t meet the entry requirements or are unsure about a Bachelor degree, you can start with a 1-year Diploma, then decide after your 1st year whether to progress further. You can do the same with Postgraduate study — start part-time on a Graduate Certificate, or Diploma, then decide after that whether to upgrade your qualification to a full Masters. Some postgraduate courses, such as the Graduate Certificate of Leadership or Graduate Certificate of Professional Supervision, allow entry based on work/professional experience, regardless of a candidate’s previous study history.
