CREDIT FOR IB SUBJECTS

QLD - GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY SAFETY NET FOR IB STUDENTS

Griffith University is one of the only Australian universities to recognise the efforts of IB students who, for a range of reasons, have performed highly across core subjects but did not receive a full Diploma or are classified as Course Candidate students. Read the full article here.

 

UQ WELCOMES IB STUDENTS

As an IB Diploma graduate, you are incredibly well prepared for success at UQ. The program’s

international flavour, academic rigour and emphasis on enquiry-based learning means you will enter university with a

global outlook, excellent work ethic and critical thinking skills. UQ recognises this, and offers many opportunities for students to

accelerate their studies.

uq-ib-guide-domestic.pdf

UTAS WELCOMES IB STUDENTS

The relatively late release of IB results in January each year won’t disadvantage you. UTAS can obtain your results directly from the IB Information System. For more information

https://www.utas.edu.au/study/apply/admission-requirements/international-baccalaureate

 

UNIVERSITY ENTRY FOR IB STUDENTS

Students can find the university’s full recognition statement on the  IB recognition policy index. Information on scholarships, IB entrance requirements, etc. can be found in each university’s recognition policy. Students are strongly advise to check with their university of interest directly as universities will update their offers or entrance requirements regularly. For more information visit this link

WHAT IS MY BACKUP PLAN?

CONCURRENT DIPLOMAS

The University of Melbourne does not offer double degrees, but it does offer a small selection of concurrent diplomas allowing students to study an extra qualification alongside their degree. This can enhance their employability and allow them to develop detailed knowledge in an area outside of their main area of study. The concurrent diplomas on offer are:

ACU TEACHING PATHWAYS

The Bachelor of Educational Studies has been designed for domestic and international students who are passionate about becoming teachers, but do not achieve the entry requirements to go directly into a Bachelor of Education (Primary) or the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary). 

 

Although the 3-year Bachelor of Educational Studies allows students to gain a qualification to work in education-related fields other than teaching, it is also designed as a pathway for students who wish to consider future study in teaching in Early Childhood and Primary Education.  Eligible students who successfully complete their first year of study (subject to meeting certain progression and non-academic requirements) may apply for transfer into the second year of the Bachelor of Education suite of courses. Students who complete the three years of study can progress to a postgraduate Initial Teacher Education qualification.  Find out more at Bachelor of Educational Studies

EDUCATIONAL SUPPORTS

The following video provides information about supports available to students with different abilities in universities (REF: 3.56 to 29.56) and TAFES (REF: 30.19 to 56.00) across Australia and how to access them. Each segment is followed by a panel of university disability and TAFE practitioners, and university students living with disability.

P2T was an online series of events, culminating in a virtual opportunity to connect with TAFE and university disability practitioners. This project was aimed at improving the transition of students with disability from secondary school into tertiary education. NDCOs engaged with

stakeholders nationally including the VET and Higher Education sector to co-design the delivery of online content to provide students with disability and those that support them (including parents/caregivers, school educators/careers practitioners) with access to critical and timely information about preparing for tertiary education.
