Swinburne oers a broad range o

appealing to me, and small lecture, tutorial

benet; you dont eel overwhelmed in any

way, and can make each class your own

without eeling lost in the crowd. At the

end o the day, we each go to university to

improve our chances o nding a career that

we enjoy and are good at. Swinburne hasprovided me with exactly this. With the

Year 10 is a good time to start thinking about

what you want to do when you nish school,

and what you can do at school to prepare or it.

Swinburne oers a range o options including

alternatives to the standard VCE to help you

discover what urther study is about and

explore your potential.

www.swinburne.edu.au/year-10

Vocational Introductory Program (VIP)

This program gives Year 10 students the

chance to experience TAFE study without

leaving school. It involves spending one day

o your school week studying in the vocational

area o your choice over a term (or a TAFE

semester). You get an idea o whether its a

study option youd like to ollow, and also begin

to build skills and knowledge that you might not

have been able to develop at school.

To participate in the VIP program, you need tobe at least 15 years old and currently enrolled

in Year 10.

Vocational Education and Training

in Schools (VETiS)

VETiS allows you to take on skills-based

learning while completing your VCE or VCAL.

You end up with two certicates and an easier

path to urther study, as well as improved

opportunities or gaining employment in your

chosen industry.

Victorian Certifcate o AppliedLearning (VCAL)

The Victorian Certicate o Applied Learning

(VCAL) is an alternative to the VCE, and gives

students in Years 11 and 12 practical,

work-related experience and the opportunity

to build personal skills that are important in lie

and work.

Apprenticeships and traineeships

Apprenticeships and traineeships are certicate

courses that combine paid work with nationally

recognised training, so you can earn while you

learn. Your employer will teach you on the jobwhile Swinburne provides the ormal training

or a nationally recognised qualication.

I have recently started a Diploma o

Nursing at Swinburne. As a 35-year-old

mother o our I was extremely nervous

about returning to study. I shouldnt have

worried as I have been overwhelmed by

the support rom the lecturers, sta and

students. The course has been antastic.

I have learnt so much in a very short period

o time, which is a credit to the teachers.

I also have access to a wonderul skills

lab which lets me put my newly learned

TaE oses

TAFE courses are ocused on learning or

work or, in many cases, learningat work. Theteaching aims to provide students with specic

skills, so there are more contact hours, smaller

classes and more personal communication with

your teachers. The skills you learn are directly

relevant to perorming tasks in the workplace.

unest eees

Swinburne degrees encourage independent

learning and provide a supportive ramework or

you to research, analyse and solve problems in

your chosen eld o study. Youll also be given

many opportunities to put theory into practice

through work placements and industry-basedprojects.

A key dierence between secondary school

and university is that the university learning

environment is much less structured. You

choose when to study and how hard to push

yoursel. While lecture times are clearly set out,

the responsibility to attend classes and

complete homework is yours.

University orTAFE, or both the choice is yours

comnn TaE n eee oses

Swinburne oers pathways that make it easy to

move between a TAFE course and a universitydegree. Pathways can save you time because

you can oten receive credits or what youve

already learned.

I youre a degree student, you could

complement your course with additional

hands-on training rom a TAFE program, which

can help you stand out to potential employers.

For example, you could complement a degree

in a discipline such as commerce, science or

engineering with a diploma in sustainability.

Or, i you want to run your own event

management business, you could combine adegree in marketing with a diploma in events.
