Claire Pech – Careers Advisor

As mentioned last week, this is Part 2 of the tertiary update day I attended this month.

There are also details from Bedford College (where a Diploma can give access to most University courses), TAFE (for practical vocational hands-on courses), and Western Sydney University (who have now changed their access into courses based on individual HSC marks alone) in the extended article. More details, schemes and entry pathways can be found below at:

Sydney Flight College (SFC) – Matthew Piers, Sydney Flight College

Who can become a pilot? Almost anyone! There are no formal academic qualifications needed for entry level training. Mathematics and Physics of “average” capability is acceptable. Mathematics is probably more important, but not essential at a high level.

Australian Catholic University (ACU) – Professor Michael Ondaatje, Head of Arts

The ANU’s Faculty of Education is the largest in the country.  Professor Ondaatje combatted the common stereo types about the Arts degree. More and more employers are seeking out Arts graduates as they have been trained how to think. In 2019, ACU is launching its accelerated Bachelor of Arts program, taking 2.5 years to complete, and, if coupled with a Masters of Teaching, students can be qualified to teach in 3.5 years.

University of Notre Dame – Terry Crotty, Head of Admissions

Notre Dame has been in Sydney for 25 years. Its 15 buildings are all located around Ultimo, near UTS, TAFE, and other tertiary providers. Notre Dame is small and has only 5,000 students. Students get over 1,000 hours of practical experience for the Nursing degree, which gives them a 96% employment rate when they leave. Applications are direct and early offers close on 31July.
