Students from TAFE and other universities
At USQ we think TAFE graduates make great university students, as they’ve got practical knowledge in their field and are already in the study groove. Students from other universities are also welcome to study courses (subjects) at USQ - so we have made it easy for everyone to apply.
TAFE Students
At USQ you’ll not only be welcomed directly into a wide variety of our degree programs that are listed under our formal articulation agreement, you may even get credit for the study you’ve completed. Find what credit you may be eligible to receive for your previous TAFE Queensland studies.
Can I get into uni using my TAFE qualification?
Yes! TAFE qualifications can be used as a stepping stone to university. If you have received one of the following qualifications from TAFE, or a recognised institution, you meet USQ’s entry requirements.
Diploma/Advanced Diploma - an Advanced Diploma qualifies you for entry to USQ and satisfies our English prerequisite. This qualification will make your university application competitive for many programs - you may even be eligible for credit toward your degree.
Certificate III - a Certificate III is the minimum requirement for USQ entry but in many cases a diploma or higher is required. You must also satisfy our English requirement. If you have a certificate III, completing certain TAFE communication units or the STAT Written English test are ways of showing competence in English.
How do I apply?

*Please note that admissions only accept direct entry from QLD, NSW and SA TAFE applicants.
Students from other universities
If you are studying at another university you can undertake approved courses (subjects) at USQ for credit towards your home university degree. Whether you are a domestic student, or study internationally, USQ accepts and recognises your level of study and gives you the opportunity to experience studying at another university.
