What do you want to do for the rest of your life? We're here to tell you, you don’t need to know the answer – nobody does! The real question you should be asking is, what do you want to do next?

University Pathways
Apprenticeships
Start earning faster
Think your only options after school are to start working or go to uni? Think again. Another great option you might not have considered is a diploma. Diploma qualifications give you the practical skills you need to enter the workforce. Plus, with most diplomas taking around 12 months to complete, they’re a great way to try out a career path and start earning faster.
It’s uni, but not as you know it
Universities aren’t the only place you can get a degree. TAFE Queensland has partnered with some of Australia’s leading universities to offer a range of degrees that focus on combining theoretical knowledge with our signature hands-on learning style. Do what you love and focus on what comes next with a practical degree taught in purpose-built facilities.
What do you want to do next?
Why choose between TAFE or uni when you could have the best of both worlds? Because a diploma will generally give you a year’s credit towards a degree in the same study area, you could do a diploma now and decide to continue your studies at uni later on. We also have a range of other university pathways than can help you meet university entry requirements and get you into your dream degree.
Practical courses, flexible choices
If you prefer to learn by doing, then an apprenticeship or traineeship could be the perfect way to turn your passion into a career. You’ll combine working for an employer with hands-on training at TAFE Queensland, meaning you'll be earning while you're learning. You will graduate with a nationally-recognised qualification and the skills you need to advance your career or start your own business.
