University pathways
Our University Packaged Programs with Flinders University, the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia offer you another path to achieving your end goal of a bachelor degree.

Successful completion of a TAFE SA Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree guarantees you entry into a connected undergraduate program at one of Adelaide’s finest universities. It also reduces the time you need to study at university, and therefore the cost of your bachelor degree.

By applying for a University Packaged Program, students receive a joint offer from both TAFE SA and either Flinders University, the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia. You can also apply for a single visa that covers the entire duration of your study program.

English Language Centre
TAFE SA’s English Language Centre (ELC) offers affordable English language programs to international students on student, working holiday or tourist visas.

TAFE SA courses develop English language skills for:
>> Studies at TAFE SA or university

You do not have to be enrolled in a TAFE SA award course to study at the ELC.
