WHICH TAFE NSW COURSES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SVP?

All TAFE NSW Bachelor degree courses are eligible for SVP. To be eligible for SVP, student visa applications must be lodged with an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) from TAFE NSW for a Bachelor degree.

While processes might be slightly different there is no difference between SVP offered by TAFE NSW or one of our partner universities.

> TAFE NSW Bachelor degrees Pages 11-13

> TAFE NSW Diploma-to-Degree (D2D) pathways Pages 14-24

RIVERINA [email protected]

Situated in the Riverina region of south western NSW, Riverina Institute offers its students a rural lifestyle among friendly country people. Students can enjoy a relaxed and healthy lifestyle with no traffic jams, no crowds and cleaner, green communities which still offer the services and facilities available in larger cities.

Living costs are lower in the Riverina than in the major cities, especially for rent and fresh food. The Riverina is also Australia’s largest wine-producing area which can provide opportunities for part-time work.

Small classes with mostly Australian born students will improve your English every day, which is important for those international students who may apply to live and work in Australia in the future.

Campuses include the Primary Industries Centre; the National Environment Centre, a unique 182 hectare certified organic farm; a new state-of-the-art training facility which offers enrolled nursing, aged care work and children’s services; and the multi-award-winning training restaurant “On Course”.

Not far from the city centre, and close to some of Sydney’s iconic beaches, The Northern Sydney Institute (NSI) is a leading provider of vocational training and tertiary education in Australia.

NSI has six campuses across Sydney’s prestigious northern suburbs, all on major public transport routes.

The institute is a centre of excellence for hospitality, children’s services, health services, information technology and film and television. It is the only TAFE NSW Institute offering the three-year Bachelor of Information Technology (Network Security) which gives you the opportunity to become a member of the Australian Computer Society (ACS).

With over 100 accredited English and vocational programs, and an ever expanding suite of degree programs, NSI offers a complete educational pathway experience.

Western Sydney Institute (WSI) covers a geographic area that includes the three dynamic, growing cities of Parramatta, Blacktown and Penrith through to the world heritage listed Blue Mountains in the west.

WSI has earned an international reputation for providing a collaborative and innovative approach to vocational education.

Three campuses are co-located with the University of Western Sydney, and WSI students are able to utilise the University’s onsite accommodation options.

WSI was awarded the National Industry Collaboration Award in 2013 for its partnership with Racing NSW, the Australian Racing Equine Academy. WSI specialises in Information Technology courses (Microsoft, VMware and CISCO accredited campuses), Hospitality (an exclusive partnership with the Hotel Management Institute and training restaurants), and Engineering.

WSI also offers the four-year Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Care Degree, which allows students to undertake an internship in the final year of their degree to gain valuable experience for their future career.

Western Institute (TAFE Western) services an area covering more than half of New South Wales, taking in the Central West, North Western and Far West regions.

Students at any one of the 24 campuses can access modern training facilities, extensive communications networks and highly-qualified teachers. Support for international students includes careers counselling, tutorial support and extensive library services.

International students will discover a relaxed way of living in a safe, clean and friendly environment, without compromising on access to cultural activities, community services or learning facilities.

The larger centres of Bathurst, Dubbo and Orange have populations of around 40,000 with many of the benefits of city life while smaller towns across the region offer an experience in rural or outback life with different industries and, above all, friendly and welcoming communities.

> So far as possible relevant complaints will be handled upon the same basis as complaints from a student or parent ordinarily resident in NSW.

13 BREACH OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS > Any breach of terms and conditions may result in the termination of the

student’s enrolment and may affect the student’s visa.
