Higher education diploma courses (VU Sydney)

Our one-year Higher Education (HE) diplomas contain the same curriculum as the equivalent degree, but with extra English language and academic support. Successful completion of a HE diploma at VU Sydney is a guaranteed pathway into the second year of the relevant degree.

The benefits of undertaking one of our HE Diplomas include:

  • focusing on one subject at a time, following our multi award-winning VU Block Model®
  • developing your academic and English language skills in smaller class sizes, during a slightly longer semester
  • gaining guaranteed entry into the second year of nominated bachelor degrees on successful course completion
  • saving on the cost of overall tuition fees through cheaper fees (than a bachelor) in your first year of study.

Australian Aboriginal flag Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Ancestors, Elders and families of the Kulin Nation (Melbourne campuses), the Eora Nation (Sydney campus) and the Yugara/YUgarapul and Turrbal Nation (Brisbane campus) who are the traditional owners of University land. As we share our own knowledge practices within the University, may we pay respect to the deep knowledge embedded within the Aboriginal community and recognise their ownership of Country.

We acknowledge that the land on which we meet, learn, and share knowledge is a place of age-old ceremonies of celebration, initiation and renewal, and that the Traditional Owners' living culture and practices have a unique role in the life of this region.
