Curtin College is a pathway provider for students seeking further education, including the opportunity to transition into degree studies at Curtin University.

Whether you’ve had a few years off or you’re seeking further qualifications for your career, you may be admitted to the Diploma courses without meeting the formal academic qualifications if you have relevant work experience and/or other acceptable qualifications.

If you’ve had the chance to complete some higher education or vocational training since leaving school, or you have some relevant work experience, you may be granted some exemptions towards your chosen course.
