How it works
If you’ve missed out on University, or didn’t meet the requirement for direct entry into a University degree, an MIT Diploma course can still get you in.
And you don’t need to do the diploma and then do first-year uni. An MIT Diploma can give you the ultimate pathway into second-year University.
The MIT Diploma courses take two trimesters (8 months) to complete. The units are equivalent to the first-year of relevant Bachelor degrees at MIT and other Australian Universities.
Once you have successfully completed your MIT Diploma, you could enter the second-year of a relevant Bachelor degree at MIT, University of Ballarat, Deakin University, Swinburne University of Technology, Monash University, Queensland University of Technology, University of Wollongong and Griffith University.
