Important Changes to Bachelor Degrees from 2025

William Angliss Institute has made a difficult decision to remove some of the degree program offerings for 2025.  

Students who have one of the impacted courses as preferences on VTAC will have received a message from VTAC indicating that their preferred course has been cancelled. 

William Angliss remains committed to its specialist areas of foods, tourism, hospitality and events and are confident that the alternative courses on offer will suit the needs of students and industry.

For any students affected by this change, below is a list of recommended alternatives for the courses that have been removed from offer:
