Articulation pathways have been established between courses at different levels which enable students with qualifications from other undergraduate courses or TAFE programs to gain credit towards a higher education advanced diploma or a degree. These arrangements provide eligibility for admission into the higher education course but they do not guarantee entry as students are selected on the basis of marks and/or relevant work experience.
The Faculty has a positive approach to the granting of credit for studies completed elsewhere and, on occasion, for work experience. It participated in the TAFE/Higher Education Pathways Project and has agreed to grant specified credit for subjects completed in certain diplomas and advanced diplomas. Subjects completed at bachelor degree level in any recognised tertiary institution in Australia or overseas will be credited if they are judged to contain sufficient equivalence of content and standard to those required for the Faculty degree courses. However, credit is not granted towards final-year subjects.
Please refer to the Faculty's Undergraduate Academic Guidelines for more information regarding the Faculty's credit policy. The address is http://www.landfood.unimelb.edu.au/courses/.
The Faculty welcomes internal transfers of students already enrolled in a course at the University of Melbourne into any course of the Faculty of Land and Food Resources. Students may apply for an internal transfer via the Student Information System <https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/>. Applications usually open in October and close in early December. Credit will be granted where appropriate and generally applicants will be notified by mid-January of the outcome of their application.
The Faculty welcomes applications for entry into any of our courses from interested students enrolled at other tertiary institutions. Applicants must apply through VTAC (Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre).
