Program Overview
Tertiary Education Pathways and Partnerships
Tertiary Education Pathways and Partnerships provide students with a structured approach to achieving their academic goals.
What is a TE Pathway?
A TE Pathway is a program designed to facilitate the transition of students from one level of education to another, often from vocational education and training (VET) to higher education (HE).
How Pathways Work
