Diploma-to-degree pathways
Get two qualifications in the same time it usually takes to complete just one with our diploma-to-degree pathways. Combine the hands-on training of a diploma with the advanced knowledge of a university degree.
With a dual award you can start working and earning in your industry sooner, putting your diploma skills into practice in industry while you complete your degree qualification. Graduate ahead of the pack with academic knowledge backed up by real-world skills.
As your diploma usually counts as a full year of credit towards a three-year university degree, you'll only have two years of your degree to go once you complete your diploma. You'll then graduate with both your diploma and your bachelor qualification. Learn more >

Linking the theory and the practical is perfect for setting a good working foundation. TAFE Queensland has a great reputation for hands-on experience and that's something that I was always interested in.
In my previous studies in my bachelor degree back in Brazil, I had a lot of theory studies. At TAFE, I’ve been enjoying much more of a hands-on learning experience while also understanding the theory. I like that at TAFE Queensland, I get to learn and then put that learning into practice straight away.
I loved being able to ask my mentor for advice and help with particularly difficult cases during my practical placement. TAFE Queensland really provided us with all the opportunities to maximise our learning potential.
