University
University is the highest level of study in Australia. There are 37 public (government funded) universities and two private universities in Australia. All Australian universities are unique and you need to find the one that best suits your own needs.
The main difference between vocational studies and university is that vocational institutions are closely linked with industry, which means the courses are very practical and skill based. Vocational education and training is provided at Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutes, which are government owned, or at private institutions.
Many vocational institutions have links and agreements with universities. Through these links, universities offer up to one year of advanced standing into a Bachelor degree as well as guaranteed entry into your course, as long as you achieve the required grades at your vocational institution.
